Hawkeye STI UK 2007 - spare wheel/tyre question

For the original wheels that came with the car does anyone know the size of the Bridgestone RE070 tyre ? I have a spare wheel for the car but the tyre that is on it does not fit in the space for the spare wheel. Need a tyre that fits the original wheel that will fit in the spare wheel space.

Thanks Andy.

OE tyre size is 225/45 R17
However the car came with a spacesaver spare - T135/70 D17

Hi Don, Thanks for the reminder. Would you happen to know if the space saver wheel would fit over D2 6 pot calipers?

Probably not, but should fit over the OEM rear two pots (assuming still fitted) which is where i'd want to use a spacesaver - even if it means shuffleing wheels/tyres around.

The spacesaver does fit over the front Brembos too. I checked on mine, but I didn't drive it .
