Hi,
I'm in need of a space saver tyre and wheel for this car. the space saver tyre would need to be 135/70/R19, with or without a jack and tool kit. The car rides on 255/35R20 front and 285/30ZR20 rear tyres.
If you have one great, or point me in the right direction as I'm a new member, great club help but so much information!

Hi Peter, the space saver spare wheel has been the subject of much debate but I am glad to see you have worked out that you need the larger diameter space saver, i.e. the 19-inch version. These are normally available from a company such as "Road Hero", who have an online presence, or can sometimes be ordered via your local Auto Shop, like Halfords or even Kwik Fit. In fact Kwik Fit have an online ordering form for the whole kit. Simply go to the Kwik Fit website, there is a safe link below, type in your registration number and then double check that it is offering you the correct version. You can then order and pay online and arrange to collect from your preferred Kwik Fit depot. I suppose you could even ask the friendly technician to double check it fits over those large front callipers.
