17" Steel wheel?

[thatwillis]

I'm looking for a 17" steel wheel to use as my spare. As i'm running 205/40/17s i have a smaller rolling radius. So my spare is good for nothing.

Does anyone know any cars that has 17" steel wheels with 5x100? I don't wanna fork out for a random alloy when its not necessary.

Cheers

Why not use a 16" not going to make much difference.

as said by wayne, the 16 will be fine, your not runing a smaller radius as youve a lower profile on your 17

I thought it was an issue running one wheel bigger than the rest..

My speedo is out alot more than your standard 2-3mph. When my speedo says 80 my satnav says I'm doing 71. They look smaller too.

Youl prob find that a 17" with a 205/40 on it will pretty much match up in radius to a 16" with say a 205/55 tyre.

The wheels have to be the same size per axle,so 16s at the front 17s at the back. It's an MOT requirement

So if he had a 205/45/16 as a spare it would only be 5mm smaller in radius than the 205/40/17. Well within tolerance I would say.

I pass my MOT with the wrong size spare in the boot.. But i guess thats not something they check 

This is all a bit off because where you think 5mm is nothing.

If I use the calculator it says my current width is 592 with 205/40/17

But my spare is 632 with a 205 55 16

6% difference. And its says there should be 2.5% difference max!

Ive got a spare 205/40/17 tyre so i just need a 17" wheel with 5x100

Its a spare..... Its not like you're gonna be using it all the time. Keep your standard spare wheel.
