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 ?

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 ?

Thumbs up

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.

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...
