Hi Guys I have somehow lost my spare wheel on my VE SS Ute. Hoping to just replace it with something like a space saver or even normal wheel.

Can anyone tell me if a normal steelie fit over my Redline caliper I added to the front? Will a space saver fit over it also?

Don't want to buy something that is useless. On the other hand, if you have one and want to offload it gimme a shout.

Thanks in advance.

With Redlines, will need a full size spare or tin of aerosol gunk to inflate your flat!

Cheers mate. So any full size steelie from a VE will be ok?

I don't think the steelies in VE/VF will fit over Redline 19"/staggered brakes? Someone who has one should chime in to confirm this perhaps?
My VF2 has a steel 19" spare & as I haven't fitted my Brembo rears yet I cannot confirm thy fit! But I know the steel fits over my Harrop fronts.

What wheels are on there now? Still the Simmons?

If you don't care what they look like, get a set of Pontiac wheels from Holmart for $500...put drag radials on a pair and a normal tyre on one as your spare. Says they fit all VE models and I believe the Pontiac got Brembos anyway?
