Spare wheel for G60 brakes
« on: 22 November 2008, 15:29 »
Hi all,

I've done the tested route of upgrading my 239mm gti brakes to the 280mm G60 ones, definately worth it! but my skinny space saver no long fits! so if I need to replace a front tyre I have to change a rear tyre first  :laugh: since I don't want a full size spare (would really upset my handy work) does anyone know if the G60 spare was a space saver or full size? Or does anyone know of a narrow 15' I could use as a spare? still running 4 stud pcd 100.

regards

Couldn't say.

But I know this was a problem with Type R Civics..... and that was a standard car from the factory.  What a faff.

I have seen a  4x100 15" space saver on the bay of Es before, but they used those immortal words " uber rare "  :sick:

Not if you've got a proper Golf - they have a higher boot floor and thus a proper size well for the wheel.

I mean how many people look in your boot to see this unsightly bulge anyway?!

Not vag but could save alot of headache.

honda 15'' space saver. Same 4x100 fitment but the centre bore will be abit tight but thats a minor job.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HONDA-SPACE-SAVER-SPARE-WHEEL_W0QQitemZ250326921699QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item250326921699&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1431%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318


possibly a mk3 space saver out there thats 15''. not sure



diamond hell...That boot bulge looks sh1t and im a fussy git. hows that :grin: (got a few stuff in the boot and the bulge would make things awkward)

each to their own

i dont think that honda wheel would clear the brakes

you could just put the back on the front then the space saver on the rear if you get a puncture? it doesnt take that long!
