Space Saver

[Nath88n 37]

I'm looking for the smallest and narrowest steel wheel that would fit under 1.9 GTI brakes, to chuck in the boot for trips to Europe or long journeys in the UK.

A friend kindly gave me a 1.9 SMR but it's massive and weighs a ton.

Any ideas?

C5 wheel in the standard spare wheel carrier does the trick.

I'd be interested in this too as I've not the wheel carrier nor the space for one.

Since having a couple of spare wheels stolen from under the rear of my 205 GTI many years ago I have carried the spare in the boot . This takes up a lot of room so I went to my local breakers about 3 years ago and asked if I could try some space savers , the first one they bought out was a 206 item iirc , it is about an inch smaller in overall diameter but fitted ok and I have had it in my boot since . Cost about £20 and needs tapered wheel bolts which I picked up at the same time .The cage and hook can be removed so saves a decent amount of weight as well .
