#3: Re: What size is the spare Author: crossie, Location: BirminghamPosted: Wed Apr 13, 2011 5:38 am ---- What size
#4: Re: What size is the spare Author: Mike_XS, Location: SouthamptonPosted: Wed Apr 13, 2011 5:40 am ---- 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.
#5: Re: What size is the spare Author: crossie, Location: BirminghamPosted: Wed Apr 13, 2011 5:45 am ---- What size do they normaly have
#6: Re: What size is the spare Author: Mike_XS, Location: SouthamptonPosted: Wed Apr 13, 2011 5:47 am ---- 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.

#8: Re: What size is the spare Author: Jordan_xsi, Location: IpswichPosted: Wed Apr 13, 2011 5:49 am ---- Space savers are 15's arnt they? and a steel wheel is most likely 14
#9: Re: What size is the spare Author: Ali_H, Location: Chichester, SussexPosted: Wed Apr 13, 2011 5:51 am ---- Yea 15s what I meant, 14s are the standard if you're getting a steelie tho.
I don't have one at all lol
#10: Re: What size is the spare Author: Seabook, Posted: Wed Apr 13, 2011 5:53 am ---- lol
anywheel can be a spare wheel....even 15" alloy would fit into that cage
i though space saver is 14"? you can get steelies for 15" or 14"

#12: Re: What size is the spare Author: crossie, Location: BirminghamPosted: Wed Apr 13, 2011 6:02 am ---- What it is is that ive got a steal but dont no what size it is because im at work and im gonna spary my alloys so want another steel so i can but 2 steels on while im sparyin mine sorry for not making sence

then you probably have to go and check it
