Title: 12 spoke with tyre
Post by Kenboy on Dec 24th, 2009, 8:26am
Hi I need a 12 spoke 16" with tyre if possible, my car is fitted out with these but I need it as a spare, the spare one I have at present is a 15" old type.


Cheers Kenboy

Kenboy.
Is your spare a steel rim ? I use these on the funeral cars with easy clean trims.There are a few 12 spokes here,you could have one with a legal tyre for a spare,it may be a tad scabby but refurbishable.Where do you reside ?.We could do a swap not forgetting carriage !

I don't get over your way much these days,however the wheel could go on DHL,you can have it for £20,and if you send me your old rim we could pay each others carriage,about £9 odd,if your tyre is nacked you could just send the rim.The 12 spoke has a good legal Michelin on it,but has a couple of inches of scab on one of the spokes,not much of a problem to square up.Keep me posted,we could do something after the Yuletide smoke has settled.

What about the estate ? I have 225/50 x 16 wellies.
Been thinking about getting an extra 12-spoke alloy as a spare as I have the steel wheel with 195/65 x 16 tyre which I guess must now be as old as the car so would not be too happy about using it anyway.
Appreciate any info.
Thanks.

OK Gozz I will go with that and yes Matt I am aware a 16" will not fit into the well But A small price to pay but thanks for your infoo.

Matt.
The standard steels don't actually fit flush either,a hump under the carpet is always evident,though of course the 12 spoke is considerably wider,but they both have a similar diameter.

I have a friend (not on internet) who has a M reg 2.0 estate, he has a 12 spoke with a 225 x 50 tyre as his spare and it doesn't protrude above the well
