Hi, does anyone know a suitable save saver wheel/tyre combination for 70/14s on T-Slots?

Guys, maybe harder to find, but I got a Mazda RX7 spacesaver for my 2500M. It also fits just fine.

Having said that, I took it out of the car and it now sits in my garage...

Is that an "alloy" rather than the Volvo steel spacesaver?

Just looked on Ebay to answer my own question, alloys and steel listed but all 5 stud?

[Renaldo]

It's steel and 4-stud. I think it's from a first series RX7...

That's what it was advertised as, in Kijiji some years ago.

A lot of the Japanese stuff uses 4x114.3 PCD, I think possibly even some of the newer Kias etc are still on 114.3 too.

Obviously Volvo, and Saab also seems to be 114.3 on some of the older models.


Do the standard TVR wheel nuts (either T slot or Wolfie) work ok with the space saver? We've got one in the shed but never bothered with it as the spare in the M fitted fine, but it may get used on the Taimar as we've only got 4 Wolfies for that so need a spare.

[Mr Tiger]

Sorry for going a little off topic but does anyone know of a space saver suitable for the Vixen?

Thanks,

Chris

Same again isn't it, Volvo S/V40. PCD is the same on Vixen as M.

Same PCD not sure about the rest though on the Vixen i prefer a full size spare

[Cerberus90]

Seeing as the Vixen and M share the same wheels (for a time), I would imagine it's all the same, or atleast will be for the space saver, the tyre/wheel is so thin that you could probably have the offset at either extreme and it'd still fit.

I would have thought a space saver would be even more perfect in a vixen to make it easier getting it out from behind the seats?

Vixens are 15 inch...........

Would that matter?

Chimaera is 15 front 16 rear, only one space saver.
