spacesaver for 197

[Foxspeed]

here you go -

wheel = 8200239860 from renault

tyre = 185/60r17C from either tyretraders or mytyres

I actually really like this idea, does the wheel move around at all during 'spirited' driving?

ooohhh no, think of the weight

Where did you get the holder thing in the right hand side of the boot? I would like 1 of those.

its very tightly wedged in between the rear plastic boot trim and the square box section
behind the seats

just think of the cost if you stuff a tyre - which someone did last week on the lakes run

£40 recovery and £140 for a tyre ! ....and to be honest was lucky to get it sorted !

as for weight normal day to day use you wont notice it

Thought it looked quite snug in there, how much did it all cost roughly in total?

 

[Foxspeed]

wheel £38
tyre £94 (expensive because its a van tyre and also an unpopular size)
fitting/balance £0 did it at work

Good idea but still rather a full size correct wheel & tyre.

true - but the spacesaver isnt directional so no problems for left or right on the car

I still have some spare standard wheels to shift, also one of those boot nets if anyone is interested

Does it clear the front Brembo caliper?
