Bongo Fury

I am looking at a space saver from a Honda FRV 2004, the tyre is right, the rim is right, the bolt circle diameter is right and the stud holes are right... the center boss is 3mm too small but motor engineer neighbour says that;s a trivial fix. Only doubt is if it is dished properly to clear the brakes.

I didn't realise this was going to be such a minefield!

People do ditch their spacesaver rims so if you put the message out here and on facebook and keep an eye out you should be able to get an OEM rim albeit with a tyre that needs replacing.

If ... you have a tow bar and If you can find one ... the 'old' BakRak spare wheel carrier was OK even for a full size spare wheel ..
