this may sound daft, but........

.....does the space-saver wheel on a uk my98 fit over the subaru 4 pots???

cheers

nope!

 

Thought not.

Anyone know if the 16 inch 99MY wheel fits in the wheel well to save me going outside and getting the jack out ?

If it does, anyone want to sell me one cheap, rather than have to do two spare wheel changes if I get a flat front tyre ?

 

ain't it a bee-atch

 

Flat 4x4, yes a full size wheel will fit, NUT it sticks up into the boot by about 3-4inches, therefore boot board won't fit!
Doh!

 

I suppose you could get a sheet of foam 3 inches thick to raise the boot floor up.

Anyone got another solution ?

 

bu99er!!!

i take it im not the only one who has got this problem then

 

Chris_D

Any ideas then ? I've only just gone back onto an Impreza and forgot about this little irritation !

 

guess if i get a front puncture ill have to do two wheel changes

 

Just get a can of tyre fix stuff and lose the space saver. That way you can get to a tyre outlet to get it fixed without changing a wheel.

F

 

The only problem with the foam is that the tyre is a right-off once it's been filled with this stuff.. IIRC..

Could be an expensive moment of laziness..

 

And if you rip your tire open you have no way of fixing the problem...
