Hello,
I have a spare full size 215/55 r18 tyre. Started to think about getting a spare space saver wheel.
I found R16 space saver on ebay but having a spare tyre is not going to be cheaper to by full size rim? I have had a quick look but I can only find alloys.
Could somone please recommend where could I get a steel wheel rim for 215/55 r18 - so I could have a think what option will be cheaper?
Cheers
Spare wheel or full size wheel?

Something to beware of, perhaps ?
If you buy a full size spare wheel, don’t forget that you will struggle to store it in the car.
The spare wheel well is designed for the space saver and I suspect that a full size spare will be pretty inconvenient to carry round in the car, taking up valuable space which is already in short supply.

.
Ring your local dealer and ask for a price and casually ask for the wheel/tyre size.
Only costs a phone call to get the correct information

Qashqai Tekna 70 plate full size 19 inch spare if upside down fits in well with Bose woofer inside rim of wheel.
Unfortunately I would like the latest Tekna and also spare wheel which I find reassuring BUT new Qashqai is a mild hybrid and guess where the extra battery is housed! So bye to carrying wheel in the well.
