Spare wheel query...

Post by D-Dub »

Does anyone know if you can fit a 15" wheel with a 195-45-15 tyre in the spare wheel well?

Will a space saver fit over 280mm discs on the front?

I'd be surprised if it did.

So if you get a front puncture, swap a back wheel to the front, and put the space saver on the back.
