Space Saver Wheel

[robertb24]

I ended up getting just the wheel from the Seat dealer for £50.16 and then managed to get a new tyre for about £20. Kwik fit then fitted it for £5. Cheaper then buying the whole lot new which is £143 with tyre.

Do you know if this wheel will fit over a set of cupra brakes? as far as i know there is only 1 type of 18" space saver. Would just like to be sure it will fit thats all. I have the 16" space saver already but since upgrading the brakes to 2008 S3 ones which are the same as the Cupra, I cant use the space saver any more

i have no idea sorry,all i know is the tyre is a continental t125/70r18 99m

 

[twnewcastle]

sorry stusweeney-cant find a facility to send you a pm

The diameter will fit, good chance the offset wont though!

the 18" space saver is afaik setup for a good offset. even if it didn't you put it on the back and move a your good wheel to the front david at seremotors should be able to help.

There's a couple on Ebay here.



Edit: Having checked his feedback, buyer beware I should think.
