December 7, 20169 yr Hi all, recently bought a 2.0 D SE Legacy "sports tourer" (estate as they used to be called haha) In the wheel well in the boot, is a mysterious bottle of gunk and a compressor, which I'd like to replace with a spacesaver spare wheel (for now, I'd rather have a full sized spare) The only spacesaver wheels I can find are 16" ones, my car has 18" wheels, the ad for the spacesaver says it is acceptable to use a 16" in an emergency ... Is it really though? Is he just saying that to sell me a wheel? Any help would be appreciated, have got a lot of miles to do over Christmas and would like the confidence of having an actual wheel rather than the bottle of whatever in the boot!

December 8, 20169 yr Hi, I should have thought more. Your car had 17" x 100 PCD as standard so you have after market wheels on it. We may have a spacesaver that is 17" x 100 . But can you tell me have you got Brembo brakes , or standard sliders. as the offsets are different..
December 8, 20169 yr Author Thanks for the reply, have attached some photos. The wheels are standard Subaru as fitted to the 2.0 Legacy SE 18 x 71/2 J Offset 55 Hopefully the pics will help identify the calipers, it doesn't say Brembo on them, so I guess that means they aren't.
