I don't suppose it really matters. A spare only stays on the car till you sort your permanent wheel out. Just get a 14" 175 wheel or summet. Better than having a space saver.

I don't understand what you're asking? If you get a wheel from a 206 it will fit yours. Go to a scrap yard with a 206, either take the space saver or if it's got steelies take one of them.

If you get bigger than a space saver (which you should) then just relocate the cage to its lower mounting holes (literally a 2 second job if you get under the car) and then a bigger wheel will fit.

The only way to tell what size your wheel is your wheel, it will say something along the lines of 185/55 R 15 and the last number is your wheel size!
