Aud a4 b8 - Space saver wheel - Chris79
Hello all,

With a forthcoming trip round Europe looming I have decided that a can of tyre sealant is not going to do the business. Can anyone tell me where I can source a space saver spare wheel or find out what size is required. I have tried Audi who do not supply them.

I currently don't even know what size would be required so o can't start trawling the scrapyards.

The car is an audi a4 with 17 inch wheels.

Hello all, The car is an audi a4 with 17 inch wheels.

What year? go to wheelbase alloys . co .uk put in your car and wheel size, it will tell you the offset and spacing of the holes for the bolts/wheel nuts. the you can get a single wheel that size, if you ask nicely they will provide it , put a budget tyre on and a whole lot safer than a bycycle wheel spacesaver, or go to e-bay, lots there and bobs your uncle. personally always go for full size, lot safer. good luck,

Cheers just a driver. Understand what your saying about a full size wheel but want the smallest wheel possible as it will be in the boot and taking up space. Will try the website.
