Hi all,

 

After a rather inconvenient sunday night blowout the other day (and not the fun kind!), im wanting to put a spare in my '17 plate octavia estate which didnt come with one when i bought it. As i travel to random places sometimes quite off the beaten track for kayaking, and I've got the room for it, im of the opinion that a full size spare is defo the way to go. I know this gives a bit more leeway when travelling back than a space saver and can take proper weight (often heavily laden on paddling trips!), so figured why not just buck up the extra few quid for a second hand matching alloy with tyre that i can then just treat as a fifth addition to the existing set and use interchangeably (taking the pressure off for the return journey and sorting out the bum tyre). Does anyone know whether a 17 trius alloy with tyre will fit in the spare tyre well/ has done it before i go jacking her up, pulling it off and shoving it in to try? Also worth mentioning I ahve the variable boot floor, so would need it fitting pretty much flush under the bottom floor of the two.

(Pic included of type of alloy currently fitted) Know the standard skoda steelie spare is 16 inch.

 

Also whilst here... anyone got any recommendations of where to get a relatively compact jack kit that'll fit in nicely, as well as the central bolt to hold the spare in place?

 

Cheers!
