All sizes?

 

Thanks , AG Falco

All sizes should be the same. If you get bigger rim the tire will be lower. Not sure how much wider can it be.

I have 185/60 15" fitted.

Thanks for the replies haven't got car yet picking it up next week don't fancy just having a repair kit in the boot.

This my third Fabia Estate first petrol one i will have had.

I got a 215/40 R17 on a full size Monte Carlo 17 inch Torino rim in the boot no issues.

 

The tool tray was a little loose so I got a strip of foam to fill the gap. Not in the photos.

 

Boot floor sits completely flat when down so no issues there.

Have you ever experience a puncture so bad you had to change the wheel immediately? I've been driving 55 years and I have never had a puncture that bad. I've always been able to over-inflate and get to a tyre dealer. 

If you do get a complete blowout, VAG recovery vehicles carry a spacesaver and get you to follow them to the nearest tyre dealer. 

That might be all you need in the more civilised parts of the UK on a nice day that is not a public / festive holiday time.

There are places where you are not near tyre and exhaust centres that are open 7 days a week or even 5 1/2 days.

There are places that even the 4th emergency services struggle to get to you in 70 minutes.
