old man Posted Saturday at 03:23 PM Posted Saturday at 03:23 PM Hi all, I expect this has been asked before, so apologies. We've recently purchased a 2017 Jazz EX Auto for my wife which came with an emergency tyre repair kit - horrible things. I want to get her a spare wheel, so the options are; Buy a used full size wheel and tyre, which I know won't fit in the wheel well, so would have to sit in the boot, or in the garage. Or; Buy a 15" space saver, but my problem with that is, I don't know if it will fit in the wheel well, so can anybody enlighten me with that question please ? If a space saver won't fit in the wheel well, then it would make more sense to get a full size spare.
old man Posted Sunday at 04:01 PM Author Posted Sunday at 04:01 PM Whilst I can't revise the title of this thread, I'm going to change the question. I assumed that a 185/55/16" wheeland tyre wouldn't fit in the wheel well because I rang the nearest dealer and asked them. They told me that it wouldn't, which is why I started looking at 15"space savers. However, a full size proper wheel will always be preferable to spacesavers and squirty gunk, so I've been doing some calculations and measurements and I think a full size wheel will fit. The acid test would be to remove a wheel from the car and try it in the boot, but it's currently damned cold outside and the car is parked on my sloping drive, so it's not the safest thing to do. So, has anyone managed to fit a standard 16" wheel into the wheel well of a 2017 Jazz ?
