Spare wheel

[mattdoombar]

Hi guys,

just bought a cracking little 2013 sport which has the optional 16” alloys on which look mint.

sadly there is no spare wheel and I would like to add one for peace of mind. I’m assuming a full size 16” alloy and tyres will not fit in the boot space.

my query is will a 14” space saver and tyre be the same rolling radius?

if not what size space saver do I need.

cheers in advance

Any* sensible wheel that will bolt onto your hubs will fit in the wheel well  - the wheel diamater is not the issue, it's the diameter of the of the wheel+tyre assembly that counts.

 

*You will need to stick with a wheel/tyre that has about the same circumference as the existing wheels. If you don't, then ABS and stability controls won't work correctly!

 

You can get a 14" wheel (and then tyre) as you say, with the same rolling radius, but you could get a 15" or 16" alloy or steel wheel that would mean no 50mph or distance limits...
