Came to light today that with the A.P's the space saver wheel apparently won't fit in the event of a puncture. Might be worth carrying one of those 12v inflators to get you out of trouble!

Any idea if an 18" wheel will fit in the spare tyre bay of a GTS?

I've got a full size 18" wheel under the boot floor in my 2000 HSV GTS

This actually happened to me and in hindsight quite amusing.

Reminds me to get it sorted when I do my mods.

Anybody have a spare 18 x 8 GTS wheel the no longer need? I only need one. Maybe a few other AP owners would want to split the cost of a set from LSV?

You will find that the vxr space saver will fit over the ap,s. But not the cv8,
as i found out when i got a puncture. I.E i found a vxr space saver no problem now.

What about the GTS? Any ideas folks? Is it the same as the VXR?
