Juke spare wheel

shug119

I have a Nissan Juke with 16 " alloys tyre size 205/60R16
Can I use a steel wheel from a Qashqai , tyre size 215/65R16. As a spare wheel. ?

215/65 is a larger rolling radius than 205/60 - the profile is a %age of the tread width, so you've got a higher %age of a wider tread. 140mm sidewall height compared to 123mm, so a difference in total diameter of 652mm compared to 686mm

You may find that the spare simply won't fit into the spare wheel well on the Juke.

And that's assuming both wheels are the same fitment - same PCD (bolt fitment), same centre bore and same offset. The steel may also have different shape bolt seats than the bolts you have for your alloys.

Thanks for your help, I think best to look for a same size alloy.

I'd still consider a steel wheel if it's just for a spare - try here ? https://www.oponeo.co.uk/steel-wheels
