So here it is.....
The 15" VW space saver rim with the 125/80R15 tyre fitted. The tyre was from a 15" Ford space saver wheel.
Fits the BMW car hubs, same diameter as the road wheels and fits in the Marlin spare wheel carrier space.



OK, last post on spare wheels, I promise!

Well I got myself a 15" VW space saver from ebay. It is fitted with a 125 70 15 tyre.

My car has 205 55 16 tyres giving a rolling diameter of about 24.8 inches

If I fit a 135 80 15 to the VeeDub rim that will give me a rolling diameter of about 23.5. Just over an inch smaller - should be good enough as an emergency spare I recon.

Unless anyone knows where I can get a 135 90 15 from? (135 80 15 seems quite common as it was originally fitted to a 2CV it seems!)
