Spare space saver

I have had trouble trying to use the space saver when fully loaded. looking under the van it looks like a standard wheel would fit.

Has anyone tried this?

Loads of posts on this - a normal wheel fits OK.

Thanks, I will now buy a wheel from a breakers yard.

you would be better off getting a steel wheel off a bongo, you will know then that it will fit if needed rather than going to a scrapyard and getting any old wheel. there must be places where you live who deal with bongos, even importers who swop the steels for alloys. you should be able to get one with a tyre for around £15.

is there any reason why i can't use an alloy wheel as a spare ?

can't find a steel bongo wheel but i have seen a mx6 alloy - assume this would be ok for a spare ?

thnks

NO
MX-6 WILL NOT FIT!
Central spigot hole is too small.
RX-8 will do you.

Colin - many many thanks.... read somewhere here that probe wheels will fit so I assumed mx6 was same a s probe.. thanks for info.

As several people recommend using full size wheels (not always from Bongos) What vehicles readily provide donor wheels and tyres i have just read MX6 dont fit, do ford probe xedos? etc
