Question Spacesaver question ???

Hi, i have a cracked alloy, so if i drive with the 15" space saver,
will it knack anything with the othr alloy being a 17.

I am hunting for a single alloy, or a full set right now.

Thanks.

No the rolling circumference should (note should) be the same or very similar (if the tyres are of the correct size to start with), but your still going to be restricted to 50mph anyway

I now carry a full size alloy and tyre, as I found out the hard way that my spacesaver would NOT clear the STi Brembos I'd fitted on the rear.

I wonder how many others are in the same boat, without knowing? I was lucky: I found out on my drive, not on a motorway at 3am in the rain

Note to anyone who has changed their brakes: CHECK YOUR SPACESAVER FITS, FRONT AND REAR!!!!!!!!!!
