R32 GTST crappy spare wheel

[Hawker180]

whats the go with the Crappy Spare wheel wont even fit over my brakes on my Type-M R32 GTST

WHats the point in a space saver wheel if it wont fit over the brakes.

anyone else have this problem...is it worth getting some spacers or something cos if i break down im stuffed...im carrying around extra weight for nothing.

This is not good... Umm anyway, apparently 16inch falcon pursuit rims will fit, AND cover the brakes. Im looking at getting one as a spare for my car, as I really dont like the idea of a space saver.

Or just have one of those tyre inflator canisters. It'll save you weight, but I suggest this only for short trips, i.e. preferably 50km or below from your house, as the tyre inflator doesnt last long.

Yeah, last time i got a slow leak i used tyre weld or something which went well for a couple of weeks until i got new tyres. Problem is it won't fix a tear in the side wall.

You need to change a wheel front to back to use a space saver, i found that out on my old rx7.

[dangerous_daveo]

Hmm, just get two, and call them front runners

[Hawker180]

yeah that sounds good...the space saver is useless....it didnt fit on the rear either...well i didnt want to forse it on cos i had just painted the brake calipers

Thats pretty rooted then. I had always assumed it'd fit the rear at the very least. Time to turf it in the name of weight reduction

Or put it on backwards for that deep dish look

I reckon we take out all the space savers and make giant wheelbarrows and have giant wheelbarrow races

I found ford falcon EB-ED wheels that look similar to the stock R32 type-M wheels.

We should have a burn out day...where we wack a set of crappy space savers on the rear and go off.....oh thats right...they prob wont fit

If they did im sure they would last about 3 seconds...

i've got space savers on the front my car at the moment and they fit fine.

[Cecam]

hawker05.. the space savers fit on both front and back, so you've got one from another car... as for burn outs, I've seena few people use them and that actually last quite a long time.. hard rubber I guess...

Fit two on the back and go for a drive, quite entertaining, well, when you have 2x Skyline ones that fit...

[Hawker180]

hmm...well it didnt seem to fit over my brakes...not sure

[dangerous_daveo]

Dont go spacesaver burnouts, you can bend your hubs etc, not smart. But with the ford rims make sure they are 16s, otherwise they probably wont fit. Trust me, mates have tryed for doing skids

the space saver on my r33 fitted the rear on my carf no problems, but its unstable when driving over 80 km/h
