Spare Wheel - I Think I Have A Solution

[Adam Evans]

I have my spare wheel from my Toyota Sera

It is a 14" space saver

4x100 stud pattern with an offset of 38

Think it is the same as the starlet ones and the Yaris ones

Does this sound good enough ?

I have a solution, my tyres run on flats. Ha ha

You do destroy the tyres though if you drive any distance on run-flats without air in them and you get a very harsh ride as a result.

The 4x100 PCD is certainly correct but you need to try the wheel on the car to make sure the offset clears everything and the small 14" wheel clears the brake callipers etc.

Also check the centre bore of the wheel matches the hub. The weight of the car should be supported in the centre on this diameter and the wheel studs just hold the wheel in place.

Hi Craig

You see for me not liking the cold. I would rather keep warm with spine damage than freeze my n**s off changing a wheel in the rain on a motorway. 35mm profile is not comportable but hey they look good. I once got a split in one of the front ones and could actually fit my hand inside it and it still drove true. Amazing
