Would a proper spare fit in the boot well?

Yes and no!

Diameter-wise it will fit, but depth-wise the alloy will stand proud slightly. This is why I will use it in conjunction with a boot install :cool:

I thought Jer had tyres with the alloys, but I'm sure we could work something out :smiley:

So that would be :-

Me (Hurdy)
John (hufcforpromotion)
john_o

One unmarked alloy each

Maybe jer keep one himself as a proper spare.

I'll PM others to see what they are willing to buy at - OK jer?

With what I have planned for the boot, the extra weight of the spare is the least of my worries. I'm more concerned about the sub, sub box, mdf and fibreglass :undecided:

aha well hurdy its a sacrifice that you will not be disapointed with.....although... ive always had subs and amps in my cars and this is the first car that i havnt got one in, and to be honest i dont really miss it.

if you are not on a price budget then may I recomend for your sub an alpine type X, they are carbon fiber and are alot lighter than normal alpine subs and also alot louder, i think they go up to around 3000w.  :rolleyes:

Group of 4 buy anyone??? :undecided:

count me in Hurdy , I will go in for a single wheel/tyre (ummarked) as a backup one.
Although we'd need to agree a price + thats also dependent slightly on the type of tyre/tread left fitted  :rolleyes:
and the prcie will have to be right lol

That's two out of four - anyone else want a "proper" spare?

i would have a spare at right price
