Hi m8,

Don't quote me on it but I'm pretty sure they don't. A mate of mine tried gettin a 14 under there an' it wouldn't go - but thats on a 1.1.
Ya could always just go for a 13" an' prey.

Or second thoughts - do a real tidy install in the boot an' make a feature of the wheel :grin:

I don`t carry a spare, no point because of the Wilwoods on the front, just make sure u don`t slice the sidewall open or you`re gonna be stranded :oooh:

i dont carry a spare either, my 16's wouldn't fit in the tray anyway. the main reason y i havent got one is the fact that i have no spare wheel tray.

took it off ready for my centre exit zorst but then changed my mind (i'll do it next year :wink: )

rite after measuring accross my wheel through the centre and tyre (15's with 195/45/15 tyres)

and accross my old 13" steelie with 80 profile. theres about a quarter of an inch difference.

i know that your not suposed to mix wheels but surely in an emergancy thats good enough to get you home if you drive carefully!!!! :oooh: :idea:
