Hi Lads, anyone know the cheapest place to get a good condition 18" spare? Looking about £100 on eBay, listing specifically states mk3 leon. What other make/models fit the mk3 as a cheaper alternative would be better for me. Thanks

I bought an 18inch spare from an Audi for £50 on eBay. Just check that the stud pattern fits. PCD:5x112 3.5Jx18

We've got a Golf spacesaver and kit in the hatchback and I bought a full sized alloy for the estate. Gota love that big wheel well ;0)
I didn’t think about that as I’ve got the ST too. I’ve still got aftermarket wheels on from last owner. Once I find a nice FR or cupra 18” set I’ll be looking for a single too then ?

I can confirm that the ST well will happily swallow a standard 18'' wheel. Seat don't supply a jacking kit that fits inside it but Skoda and VW do. You can buy them off eBay quite cheaply.
