If my mate gets a flat wheel in his scooby with his 17" rims on the car, is it still possible to use his 15" space saver or will it screw up the diffs etc??

Should be ok - as outside rolling diameter will be roughly the same (providing 17s fitted with 215 40 17 or 205 45 17 tyres if car MY00 or earlier)

Be carfull if you uprate the brake calipers as the MY93-98 space saver doesn't fit over OEM 4 pots Just a warning

But providing the Tyres fitted give the same rolling radius as the std wheels. I can't see there being a problem.
