I got one that was an S40 which is now on Franks 3000s in Belgium as I no longer needed it however that was for the M same wheel fitting but larger tyres as I have 195s on the s however always us the space saver on the front wheels only as any slight difference in rolling radius you will get away with in the front but will damage your rear drives so a rear puncture move a front wheel to the rear.

Wouldn't the differential compensate (not sure what a LSD would make of it) whereas different sizes could give some interesting steering and braking if on the front, even at a max 40mph?

just my thoughts, :waits to get shot down in flames by someone with personal experience: smiley

Yes if you had a limited slip diff but I don't think so on a standard diff or so I have been told
in fairness its not ideal even at the front but at least would get you home well be it slowly

Sorry if dumb question but why a space saver for a Vixen. Is this to mount under the bonnet or just to make it easier to lift out?

If you want to play with a S/V40 space saver, I have a spare one you can borrow. I am in Preston, so just down the road?
