Advice needed buying a spare /spacesaver wheel please
Hi all.
Can anyone please confirm before I commit to buying this space saver wheel.
My current wheels are 215/50/R17
Im looking at buying wheel thats 125/70/R17. Both 5 stud .
Will this fit as a measure to just get me out of trouble in the event of a puncture?
Thanks

You cannot buy any random wheel, you need the correct offset and stud pattern so that it does not foul the brakes and wheel arches.1

Also worth bearing in mind that the spacesaver may be a different size to the original wheel. On my Audi I really struggled to find a 17" space saver wheel that would fit but it turned out the space saver one for that car was actually 18"Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.0
