Hi all. I'm very confused as to what size space saver I need. I own a 2013 N - Connecta & the tyre size is 215/55R18. The more I look , the more confused I get. The handbook suggests T145/90R16 & the Wheel Shop suggests R18 ? Can someone please confirm what I need & possibly an outlet to buy from. TIA. Tony

Use https://tiresize.com/tyre-size-calculator/ and try to get a spare with the closest matching circumference to your current tyres.

this is what you need but the foam spacers are for the j11

Although mines a J11b I think the spare should be the same for your J11 as my understanding is the 16inch space saver is fine for all J11 models. I recently purchased this space saver for my peace of mind and not trusting a can of goo - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235225566100.

Just be aware that if you have the raised boot floor (standard on the N-Connecta) you will loose some of the space below it. I recommend having the foam inserts as they raise up the lower floor and provide slots to store the other accessories (jack, wrench, etc.).

Hope you guys can help.. I've a 2016 Tekna with the 19" alloys.. was goig to get a 16" but a seller has suggested this may not fit over the front brake calipers and is instead suggesting a 19" variant (at nearly twice the price). Conversely, I have seen on here potential issues just fitting a 17" into the bootwell... My preference would be the one that takes up least space (and hopefully least out of my pocket), but clearly it's no use if it only fits a rear wheel), can anyone help dispel any myths?.. thanks in advance

16" is fine as spare wheel. As its only for temp use don't forget. Links posted above contain everything you need jack etc 🙂
