    Getting technical now!

    The tyres I have on are alloys but dont need this for a spare as I would get the tyre repaired and swapped over. So what do I need to look for? Sorry for being so dumb but partner away working and I have a long trip to Scotland next weekend and dont want to risk it without a spare.

    Thanks viv

    I was thinking to try and get a space saver as I could then leave in boot to stop it happening again.

    That's an alloy?
    My steels are 195/65/15, which is usually the spare size.
    I can't remember the offset, but it's different to other 5 stud wheels from the vauxhall range, but only by a couple of mil.
    I'll have a look and post back up tonight what they actually are.

    Best place to find one is ebay, sometimes you can drop on a wheel and tyre for a tenner, close enough to pick up.
    also part worn tyre places.
    Find out when they get their stock an go on that day.

    i used to do part worn, the scrap man brings a van full of wheels. I used to remove all the tyres ones that we could sell on we put on the self the rest get disposed and all the wheels go back to the scrap man.

    I got a full set of vw fire and ice for £20 sold them on for £80:D could of put them on ebay for £100.

    Zafira A has an offset of 43, look for ET43 stamped on the centre of the rim.
