T8 Spare Wheel

ISW001 · Aug 25th, 2017, 12:15

Anyone found a sensible solution for a Spare Wheel for a T8 Model
Dealer supplied one but then said it wouldn't fit and refused to let me have it
The one they offered was 17" and would not fit on front wheels due to brake calipers being too big.

The spare is 18" but not to be used for the twin engine, see bottom of link:

I have one. It is an 18inch one. Only fits back wheel as front disks are too big and not enough inside clearance. Dont think there is a wheel which will fit front of T8. So a front puncture means some juggling. Lives in a special bag in the boot (Amazon for that). But it does take up lots of room and you either stand it up and the luggage cover doesnt fit or lie it down and the bag carrier flap doesnt lift up......
