Spare wheel and tyre wanted

[David Ramsbotham]

I know this is a long shot but I would like to get a spare 19” standard type wheel for my 2007 V8 Vantage. Wondered if anyone had any leads. TIA.

Front or rear? They are different.

[David Ramsbotham]

A front one as I’m banking on it fitting on the rear in an emergency.

Are you not better getting a space saver with the same pcd ?

[David Ramsbotham]

Tricky thing is trying to find a space saver with the correct pcd and rolling circumference.

Will a wheel with tyre, actually fit in the boot with the tailgate closed.
If not, how could you have it available, in readiness for a puncture. That then leads on to being able to carry a trolley jack as well.

Perhaps I have misunderstood your aims.

[David Ramsbotham]

Agree, a number of factors involved. Probably wouldn’t carry the spare in the car and still rely to some extent on wheel gunk in car but in event of total blow out not too far from home, the rescue team, aka my wife, could bring equipment to me or at least collect me to return with same. Once home car can stand on spare while new tyre sorted etc, etc.

I wonder what Maserati use? It’s the same pcd.
Also same as many Jap cars and also my Renault van!

I had some sort of Mitsubishi space saver on my QP. Can't remember which one, but have a Google
