badbaz Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) Surely you've got a spare from a pre 05 sti or wrx which is 100pcd? Where did you buy the car from? The jack will be fine as above, just make sure you're on level ground, handbrake on and position the jack well to begin with. If you were closer I have wheels and tyres sitting but no use to you now! You must be stressed: started off with three kisses, then two and now none!!!! Edited March 8, 2010 by badbaz

Spaceman Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 a 17 inch would do to btw as the rolling size is very similar you got the standard wheels at your house?

Mrs Sleiper Posted March 8, 2010 Author Posted March 8, 2010 stu is just home from work and trying different plans but everything keeps falling through. so have no plan. out of ideas. recovery is an expensive option. think stu might try get tyre weld but dunno if the hole is too big. xx

sti pretender Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Does that mean if you get a problem with the tyre .The space saver that comes in the Sti will not fit over the standard brembo caliper ???? My spacesaver fits on and 06 STI (114.3pcd), sounds like someone's put the wrong spacesaver in not knowing about clearing the brembo's. Would lend you mine but wrong pcd.
Mrs Sleiper Posted March 8, 2010 Author Posted March 8, 2010 i dont no cos i spoke to steven whitson and he though it should fit too.... need to have another look.... typical this sort o thing always happens to me!! somethings gotta go wrong lol but suppose should laugh about it or else i will haha
dipsy Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) Sti pretender the blobeye with the flared rear arch molding ie 05 onwards is 114.3 pcd sleiper has a 06 Sti 114.3 pcd aswell Edited March 8, 2010 by Dipsy
badbaz Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Dipsy is right, their car should be 114, someone must have put a 100 spare in!
Mrs Sleiper Posted March 8, 2010 Author Posted March 8, 2010 stu brought a spare car and tyreweld he is going to nurse the car home hopefully it wil hold. so going to be a tense 40 mins until he gets home.
