Space Saver wheel for BRZ

[Aussie Ed]

Info for any BRZ owners looking for Space Saver.

The recommended 135/80 D16 is almost impossible to locate (other than nearly £200 from dealer!).

The Space Saver from the Rover 75 / MG ZT have the same stud & centre bore.  Slightly different tyre at 125/90 D16 but is virtually the same rolling diameter just 6mm larger. (631mm v's 625mm).

3mm difference in ride height and 10mm less road tyre width is negligible if it gets you out of trouble!

Got mine from this supplier £29 complete wheel & tyre delivered by courier in 48 hours. 

Hope this is of help to someone.

Good tip.

What did you use for a jack?

[Aussie Ed]

I already had a suitable jack acquired over the years that suited.  You can buy new from Eurocar Parts at about £15.
