hi
My wife drives a seat Ibiza copa 2011, the tyre size on this car is 215/45/r16 and I just had a spare delivered from breaker which is a different size, but he said it will fit on the car, the size delivered is a 175/70/r14, is this correct?

The spare wheel i have just purchased from a dealer for our Ibiza (which has the same size tyres as yours) is a 15" wheel with a 185/60/15 which has a circumference almost the same as the 16" tyres. It is what is called a full size spare wheel as the rolling radius will be virtually identical to the 16" tyres. I think the breaker is telling porkies!
