Afternoon all 

I have a 245 with the 19s on looking at buying a space saver spare wheel kit but can only find the 18s 

will the 18 ones fit over the rear discs ?

Yes 17" and above will fit over the 340mm fronts brakes which are the closest, 310mm rears are not an issue.

 

Spare wheel well on the Octy will take a full size spare, it may lift the boot floor a couple of mm if the tyre has large rim protector.

 

I have a 17" Steel with a full 225/45/17 tyre. Still technically restricted to 50mph but I feel happier on that than a space saver

Thankyou flybynite,

I think i will get a full size 18 then  rather than the space saver route

Sorry guys,

 

You won't get an 18" into the boot - it is strictly a 17" tyre unless you want to boot liner to be sticking up.  Recommend a 17" variant for your emergency wheel.

I don't agree with that; whether the boot liner will be sticking up depends on the width of the tyre not the diameter of the wheel, and so long as the overall diameter of the wheel/tyre combination is near enough the same as the current wheel/tyre combination it will fit into the well in the boot.

I'm Sorry but a 17", 18" and 19" OEM wheel with 225 width tyres are all the same size outside because of the different tyre profile 45.40 and 35.

 

I get a 225/45 tyre under the boot floor but it is on a 7x17" steel and has no rim protection, the same tyre in 225/40 on a 7x18" will fit just the same

 

To be safe you could always use a 205
