Mazda 626 wheels

Post by ukspaceman » Mon Jun 11, 2007 10:35 am

Morning

Just wondering if a steel wheel off a Mazda 626 could be used as a full size spare for a Bongo. I salvaged two from our local tip.

Cheers

If they are 15" - if not, you'll need to adjust the tyre size to give the same diameter - see http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

Not sure about these specifc wheels but I had a puncture a few weeks ago. Removed the space saver spare and fitted it but the full size burst one wouldn't fit in it's place becasue of the towbar. A real pain as I am stuck with keeping that horrid space saver :twisted:
