I have 17's on the car atm and i was looking through my boot for my boot install and twigged, hang on that massive round thing with rubber on it is only 15 inches, if i have a blown out tire i cant use it.

Am i right or would you be able to hobble home with one 15 and 3 17's? or just RACV callout and get a 17. Cause i cant fit a 17 in the spare wheel well thats for sure.

cheers fellas

It's fine to go home on the 15, just replace ASAP!

ahhh okay sweet cheers :) i would, if i had a flat i would get it home then jack it up untill i had a spare.

cheers

Why cant you fit a 17" in the spare wheel well? Ralliarts did, and Im assuming (could be wrong) that S2 VRX and GTVs did too.

It got very little to do with the rim size!

its the overall diameter. If its a bit smaller that's fine for short trips in an emergency.

the car will handle different so take that into account when driving on it.

its a very tight fit as it is, i dont wanna buy one and find out it doesn't tho :(

As if waste time buying an aftermarket 17" spare wheel, if the overall rolling diameter is off then you just make sure it only goes on the rear of the car, but 15" is definetly fine.

yeah well i dont really like the idea of having to change my own tire when im paying RACV each year, so they can do it for me lol! haha spec if its after work, not getting suit dirty haha

i can fit my 18 inch rims in my tyre well... unless urs is smaller??????????

plus a 17 is going to weigh your car down more than a 15" steelie
