About the Space Saver...

I'm running FFRR 19" with MTR's. (255/55-R19)

I have the 'S' model, so I have the space saver 19" spare.

That's fair enough, but in the garage I have my old 'S' style 18" alloys with goodyear wrangler 255/60-R18.

So should I remove the space saver, and stick in one of my 18" alloys instead, incase of a puncture. Would it fit in the hole?

I guess it would be the same rolling diameter and mean I won't have to 'limp' home on a space saver?

Question

It'll work fine and it fits ok too Thumbs Up
 I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

When I refit the alloy into the spare wheel area, I guess the 'spokes' of the alloy should be facing upwards, not to the ground?

All done, does hang abit lower then the saver, due to the increased width. Does it effect approach / departure etc? It's currenty at 45psi if that makes any differance?

I guess I'd rather trash the wheel then the rear bumper though, might be an early warning system Laughing

Size is all ok , I have a 19 full size alloy underneath with no issues,not had any issues with clearance. As for the 45psi of the spare here did you get that from,its well above what it should be Shocked

What the good book says (Instruction manual) - keep it at highest pressure for full and adjust down if required as & when needed which hopefully is not that often.
