Anyone ever come across a space saver in 10" or 12" dia ?
Alternatively what 13" space saver is common and therefore can be bought cheap ? Not bothered about tyres at present.
Thanks.

I'm almost certain that the VW one's 14", or it wouldn't fit over the brakes on 16v Golfs. As far as I'm aware the Scirocco was the first VW to get one, again being 14" to clear the 256mm brakes on 16v models.

I've never seen a 13" spacesaver. Normally they are an inch larger than the standard wheel - ie 13" road wheels so 14" space saver with low profile tyre, etc. Anyone think of other, common, wheels that have large offset (think I've got that right - always get mixed up with inset and offset  ) like a spacesaver ? Preferably in 10", 12" or 13". Thanks. Paul |

My Beat runs 13" front and 14" rears, can't check space saver size at moment - still covered up from Winter - but pretty sure this is 14"?
might get a reply from the Beat Forum but usually quiet at this time of year, will see if I can get a peek tomorrow
* answered by a Honda techie.....14" x 4" width apparently...another one that's no use unfortunately

What car do you have it in mind for?
Porsche spacer savers are 15" from memory, but they have a collapsible tyre design so as to give the boot a little more space.

They aren't needed for a car  There is a little known EU law that the UK has had to adopt that states if wheels on the same axle are 460cm or less apart, measured from the centre of the tyre tread, then they are deemed as being a single wheel. I have a Yamaha quad that I want to reduced the rear track to come into line with this rule so it's classed as a trike when registering. Wheels with large offset would allow this to happen without any modifications to the actual axle width. Paul H |

can you reverse a steel quad/car wheel to achieve this or is there not enough clearance for suspension etc?

I want normal car tyres so need to go up in wheel size. Full profile 145/10 Mini tyres would be about right so, say, 13" with low profile also similar height. Quad is a 1996 model so as long as I otherwise keep as standard then with a dating certificate DVLA say I can register as trike without MSVA. Narrow the axle (as I originaly intended) or fit single rear wheel from a motorbike means modified and MSVA test then due  Don't mind the test but it's the expense I don't want as although cheaper than BIVA still would cost me £104 - plus registration costs and VED. BTW VED for a quad is £125 whereas as a trike the same machine VED is £16. DVLA logic Paul H |
