Spare Tyre Too Small?

[GODSMACK]

brucey - this is the one I'm talking about. It is 18" x 4" with a 115/85/18 tyre.










Cheers,

Macca

Y not just put 4 of these on a Monaro, would look shmick!

lol, quite possibly the most horrid looking wheels around...

Just put two on the front then run around lining up drags, see how many people chicken out when they see the pizza cutters!!

Mad Dog, I've bought stuff from Wheel King, & always found them to be reasonable....You mentioned that you were happy with the price, & I know these things aren't cheap, BUT, IMHO it's always worth paying to get the right product, so I was just wondering how much you paid.
Cheers, Pickles.

I dont like posting prices few reasons, most people get it cheaper and id rather not know, if i give a price people may try and bargain a few extra off cause they know what they have sold for making it tough for sponsors, prices change, i dont set the prices and dont feel comfortable advertising a price.

Having said that and in last few weeks spending close to 4k from them, i paid $275 for the spacesaver which considering how hard they were to get and I really needed one, well worthwhile, i think. And they dont have many left.

Thanks for that....I understand where you're coming from, & as I said, it's always best to obtain the right product. Did that price include the tyre?
Cheers, Pickles.

I agree there is nothing worse then trying to make do with something that just isnt quite right. Tools especially. Yep tyre included. Not perfect as I know they were used for pre delivery but close. But I dont feel the need to paint it, at the moment.

That's pretty cheap, I reckon you did well.

Cheers, doesnt mean next ones will be though. Just what i paid.
They are also pretty heavy so if using as front runners id be looking at something else. I was starting to look at different options, custom front runner made up to use as a spare. No need thankfully.

Hi Guys,

I am also looking for a space saver wheel, after getting bigger brakes for my car.

Can anyone help me out.

Cheers.

What model car do you have & what brakes did you get?

This 17" space saver JUST fits over my Harrop 4 piston brakes with 343mm rotors all round

hey mechatron,

I have a Commodore SV8 VY with 19" rims (245/35/R19) and just last week installed some Harrop 4 Piston Big Brake kit front and rear, 343mm, same as yours by the sounds/looks of it.

Thanks.

Sweet, you have two options then, the black one that I have or the yellow hsv 18x4 space saver, I picked mine up from a wreckers for $150 with tyre. I also used to be able to fit a 19" wheel in the wheel well with a 245/35/19 profile tyre however the floor sat up the tiniest bit...not really noticeable though

HSV also supplied an 18x8 spare wheel with a 215/45x18 pirelli tyre that fits in the spare wheel well with out lifting up the tyre cover.
This is whats in my Senator and fits easily over my AP's 350mm fronts (bigger than the Harrops)

[amiladakillah]

Sounds goods, i will take the yellow hsv 18x4 please.
