Have not tried this but I was informed the other week that my spare on an sti 5 would not fit over the AP 4 pots (16 inch variety)

can anyone confirm whether this is correct - to save me the hassle of checking

Thanks

 

Even if it won't fit ...

<this was explained to me by my dealer - the spare wheel will surely not fit over my Alcon kit>

If one of the front tyres is flat:

. jack up car and remove one of the rear wheels (same side)
. put spare wheel on
. jack up front and remove flat
. replace flat with rear wheel

Voila... problem solved

Steve, mine fits - space-saver spare UK MY00 - over 16in AP 4-potters.

Maybe worth considering buying a full size alloy!

I mean do you want to be limited to 50mph!!!

Could be worth 4 people getting together and 'group buying' a set of alloys!!

Just a thought!

Ps - Before you ask I have 5 P1 wheels, and may need some more!! See

 

Hi

Just to add to the confusion I think there are two different space saver spares.
When I fitted the later Subaru 4 pots to my MY98(originally 2 pots) my space saver would not fit over them.The diameter was ok but it was not dished enough to clear the 4 pot calipers.

The space saver that comes with 4 pot equipped cars must have more of a dish so they probably will fit the after market kits whereas the space savers from the 2 pot cars probably won't.
