Borrow of a spare wheel (classic fitment)

[Joe G]

Well looks like I'll be back in an Impreza quicker than i first thought. Away to look at one down south shortly. Only problem is it has no spare wheel and i don't fancy taking the chance of driving it back up the road without one incase I get a flat. (which knowing my luck would happen!!)

Or my other option would be to buy some of that tyre weld but never had any experience using the stuff.

Cheers Joe

Would be very unlucky to get a flat on the way back! If you buy it, ebay often has lots of those horrible spacesavers for sale at silly prices. I bought a spare 18" 8J Prodrive for our WRX, as the standard spare won't clear the 335mm discs and big Brembos. Only problem is that it doesn't fit into the boot well! No problem for me, but the Mrs complains no room for the shopping...

The idea of the spacesavers is to fit the rear wheel and swap a good wheel onto the front if that's whats flat .

Still lurking in the shadows Phil?

I have a 2002 wrx space saver laying in the garden. Free if you're any where near Edinburgh. 5x100 pcd.

Also just to say. My newage wrx space saver will not clear newage gold Brembo calipers. Even the REARS, had a front puncture and tried the swap a good rear wheel to the front trick. No luck, hits the caliper before sitting square on! Not sure if a STi space saver is different to aid this?

I know that, but who wants to bugger about on a cold and wet evening - that's usually when a tyre goes!!!
