Spare wheel kit

[T0bycrisis]

Hey all

I have a space saver wheel in the back of my 17 Leon FR ST, but not tools to fit it...

Would this kit (attached) fit over the wheel or is there another kit I should be looking for?

I've asked the seller and they said 'we can't be certain' -

Thanks in advance

This kit sits below the spare space saver wheel.

Toolkit > space saver wheel > subwoofer

Not 100% sure but you might need to change spare wheel screw. The longest one available for Leon is 5F0803899. It was used for cars with toolkit, spare wheel and subwoofer

Amazing, thanks for the heads up - I'll take a look. So glad I asked on here!

@grabania good one, I made the assumption that everyone had this one. Didnt even know there are different variants.

Pardon our interruption...

Anyone know if this will fit in my ST?

That should be alright - 16inch wheel will fit the wheel well, and the toolbox is made to fit the wheel, so you should be good?

I ended up needing this screw, so thank you so much for linking the PN. The toolbox kit I ordered fits great btw for anyone else needing one

Just double checking before I buy, is a 16" wheel supposed to have a 70 side and not 60?
My 18s have 40 sidewall which is oem.

According to ETKA there are two spare wheel types in Leon:
- T125/70R18 3,5JX18H2 ET25
- T125/70R16 3,5JX16H2 ET25

Mine came with 18" wheel from factory, but it was also possible to have 16". Don't know what kind of equipment decided which one was used. Other parameters seems to be the same

 

[Mo_86]

Does the 18" wheel fit fine in the boot?
I'm suprised the 16 and 18 both come with 70 sidewall tyre, shouldn't it be less for the 18s to match the existence radius of all the other wheels?

I've got 1.4 125HP hatchback with torsion beam and fits nicely. You can even see parameters on the left of the wheel

Perfect, should fit my ST well too then.

Looking at getting a spare wheel for my 2014 ST what's the best options? I see a general 16" space saver with tool kit on eBay for around £70-75. Or is better trying to get hold of a proper spare wheel and the curved foam insert with tools. Or can I get an alloy wheel and the curved foam insert?

This is the correct foam insert and tool kit for an ST, I also recommend getting an 18" spacesaver as it's closer to the same diameter as the the standard 17" wheels.

Hi my wheels are 16inch. Is this foam and tool kit for the space saver kit?

Yes, the foam and tool kit is for the space saver kit, if you live anywhere near Hayes, Middlesex, I have a 16" space saver wheel.

Hi am in southern Scotland. I have a spare 16inch alloy wheel and going by posts on the forum it fits in the ST with no issues. The only other issue is the tool kit and getting foam inlay for it. Not sure if I should slump for a aftermarket space saver, the foam inlay you posted with tools is pretty expensive cheapest I found £126 + postage that's no including the wheel
