do you carry a spare wheel?

the spare ive got is absolutely immaculate along with all the other gubbings but found out a few months back that its completely pointless carrying it as it doesnt fit over my brakes. are there any steel wheels that will fit over uk brakes or would it be a case of buying another alloy to use as a spare?

I didn't used to carry my spare wheel, but ended up putting it back in the car after a blow out! Had to phone a mate who picked me up and took me to get a new tyre... the car was left at the side of the motorway with a jack underneath it for 45 mins! :blink:

well unless you have eom wheels, the spacesaver is the wrong size to drive on anyway

 

My 19's are practically the same diameter as stock 17's with stock AR.

Of course, it's the tyre diameter that matters and not the wheel. :)

I always keep my uk spacesaver in the boot and I have had to use it. It's woth checking its up to pressure as well when you do the other tires.

 

The foam/gunk cans are good but I hear they make repairing a puncture a pain?

one of the downsides of having an aero is boot space :(
