Hi everyone.
Today I decided to give the spare tire a good rinse and psi's since I'v never even looked at it since I bought the car..
The spare tire had a sticker on it saying "do not use long bolts used with alloy wheels, only use short bolts"..
Do i need to get short bolts now? my pug wears 15' alloys (original XSI's).

Some Peugeot / Citroen spare wheels have a special steel spare wheel that uses the alloy wheel bolts.

There was no sticker or anything on my old GTi 138 spare wheel.
And I used that wheel for a good few days without problems

Thanks guys 
Actually my spare looks like an ordinary Michelin tire and the steelie also does, never the less I just got back from the gas station and it seems the tire is dead, air is coming out from between the tire and the steelie so it's fixing time, good thing I've given it some attention cause I've been driving around for the past 6 monthes with no spare...
