Jason Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Foolishly I turfed out a load of recent Practical Performance car car mags in my study, along with them when a wheel swap reference guide that gave details of modern cars who's wheels would fit the PI.I've got 5 wheels for it (K so one is bent and needs sorting) but I don't want to run around with it in the boot and prefer a can of tyre weld at the moment. That got me to thinking that perhaps a spacesaver from a modern could do the trick - which sent me looking for the PPC mag which I have chucked out!So the question is, what would work? I recall Saab 900 and Rover 600 had the right stud pattern but I can't remember a lot else - any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I've got some triumph wheels if you need one....or 15 ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2500 Stiffler Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 PCD is 114.3, 4 stud (obviously). Others that fit include, but not exclusively (cos my memory is rubbish):Volvo V40/S40 (last shap, not new one on 5 studs)Rover 800/600Saab 900 (older ones)Mitsubishi (Evo up to 4 I think, Space Star, Old Galant)Check out a website - Retro Rides Wheel PCD database (I am not good enough to link it, sorry) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeks Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 From my own observation it 'looks' like a Saab 9000 PCD would fit ... but I haven't tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2500 Stiffler Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Incidentally, can you get such a thing as a hub adaptor to fit wheels that aren't the same PCD to your vehicle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Surely the space saving is minimal - as its under the boot anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I think Jason's prob. is the dia. of the wheels on his car is larger than the diameter of the wheel well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much simpler just to use a Triumph wheel I would have thought...Steve H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2500 Stiffler Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Maybe he just doesn't want the snazzy alloy in the boot as a spare? Or maybe he fills his spare wheel well with gold bullion...place the space saver over the top to avoid getting nabbed at customs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2500 Stiffler Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Or it's had an LPG conversion!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 :-) I don't want the 15" alli as a spare if I can help it, I thought a nice think spacesaver would be the way to go, that way it can go under the boot floor and I can tidy the boot up a lot. I don't like to carry a lot of stuff but I do like a spare. Generally though I just carry a can of tyre weld.Thanks for the details though guys - Saab 900 seem the easiest to get hold of, about £15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeks Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Make sure you're certain it fits!I remember finding out that my spare wheel in the GT6 didn't fit very well when I had a puncture on the motorway. I wasn't particularly impressed. >:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 Good advice mate! I once found that the wheel brace I'd had in the car for several years was perfect for a jack handle but usless for taking wheel nut soff. Not the kind of thing you want to find out when it's hammering down with rain and you're late for a wedding! "Let's go in the Triumph!" came back to haunt me!
