I've got one from my V70 spare since I put an LPG tank where it came from. Alloys are 225/45R17 and 5 stud, the rolling dia of the ss will be the same. Does that fit the V50?

In MK, swap for your can of squirt?

EDIT
If interested can you pm me as I may not spot the reply

No, my alloys are 17" the space saver isn't. What's important is the rolling diameter. Use http://www.tyresave.co.uk/tyresize.html, put 225/45/17 in the old tyre size and your tyre size in the new, eg 215/55/16. If the two are within a few % of each other it'll be ok as a space saver.

I rolled past a v50 the other day and noted they're the 5 stud, I presume the dia is the same.

Top right of the page is where my pm link is, don't know if you need minimum number of posts.

Are they th esame as the 'new' ford focus, might be a cheaper option??

I'm keeping eye on the local scrap yard for any five stud but no luck as yet!!
