Spare Wheel Tyre Size?

Post by The_Gordons » Fri Mar 04, 2011 2:41 pm

I have sourced a 15" steel wheel in order to replace the original space saver. The replacement is without tyre as I am going to have a new tyre fitted for piece of mind.

Was wondering whether other people who had replaced the space saver had a 195 or 215 tyre fitted to their spare.

Yep, am remembering the load rating. Just wanted to make sure that a 215 fitted in the spare wheel space.

Yep, rims are the same size, only thing is matching circumference is important if you have 4wd, and load rating as said.
Take a torch, toilet roll, and tea bags.
