So there I am putting my girl through her paces heading for Campbeltown in Argyle and Bute loveing the scenery when on Friday the 13th what do I get a puncture!! On the way to a client to photgrapgh a house so really needed to get spare on sharpish.
Gets spare ,car jacked up and then try to fit spare....no fit but its the original spare for the car whats going on? Then it hits me Ive upgrded front disks and the new speedline alloys fit but the spare doesnt what a tool! No phone signal stuck in the highlands kicking the car in frustration how am going to get out of this! Then it hits me the back disks are original size so I can put the spare on there and put back alloy on front

Im that stressed I actually start wondering how to jack up the car to take 2 wheels off at same time, thank goodness sanity kicked in and did back first then front, so if anyone has an old 4 stud speedline they want to move on give me a bell. What a day .

I'm told that the ATR's space-saver was designed not to fit over the front brakes, thus forcing you fit it to the rear. It's supposed to be a safety feature. I haven't tried it on the 5G.

Pics below.
Tyre is Nexen CP641 with about 6mm tread.

Id be looking for £35 for the alloy with tyre. Collection only.
