182 spare wheel

[Willo40]

Does anyone carry a spare round with them? I appreciate you get the foam cans, but they aren't much use with a blowout, I would just feel safer carrying a spare, or at least having a spare for longer journeys, if so what do you use?

Cheers

I bought a spare Turini when I had the Trophy made sense to me...

 

[Willo40]

I was thinking it might have to be a spare alloy....

Get another wheel. It takes up a fair bit of boot space in a 182, but in a 172Cup there is a wheel well

 

[Willo40]

I am not too bothered about the boot space, as I rarely carry anything in the boot anyway, I will have a look...

Thanks
Willo

I've been trying to find a cheap space saver but not cheap ones out there.

Small 12v compressor, two cans of foam, my tow eye and breakdown cover with onward travel. f**k carrying a wheel in the (already small) boot with me everywhere.

When did you last have a blow-out?

Might as well take the 2.5T jack with you too. And the first aid kit. And a map. And a bar of kendal mint cake. And some snow chains. And a blanket.

 

[Willo40]

I haven't had a blow out, and the car already has a jack in it, maybe it won't happen, but that's a bit like saying, why bother having insurance as you never crash? obviously you know better than most of the major car manufacturers who put spare wheels in their cars.....

So much wrong with that post that i'm not going to even bother. Just buy a spare if you want one.

 

[Willo40]

You really had very little constructive to add to the thread, so why bother posting at all? I didn't ask what you carry in your boot, I asked if people carried or used a spare for a 182, a can of Foam and a 12v compressor is no use to you if your tyre is shredded, equally, your tyre is no good to you once its full of foam.

I now know you don't carry a spare, so jog on and give some more pointless answers to other threads....

I have a spare Turnini at home, but f**k carrying that round. If I have any issues locally someone can bring it too me.

Although I'll just use my breakdown cover if I need to, that's what I purchased it for lol

 

[cat171]

I had a blow out a few months ago, I called the RAC.

 

[Willo40]

To be fair I don't usually go very far, so I don't usually have breakdown cover, and I have just had new tyres fitted, and don't really like the idea of f*cking a new tyre with a can of foam for a puncture. just wondered if anyone had found a spacer saver solution,

Yes mate that would be great thanks, where did you get your space saver?

I carry a spare all the time. Shame it has that silly exhaust really.

With the mileage I rack up I'd rather not be stuck at the side of the motorway.

I didn't buy the wheel so can't help you with that one.

Does it fit over the large Renault centrebore?

And assuming its 14 so would have to swap rear to front if a front blew?

 

[George182]

I carry foam around normally, although for longer trips I chuck a spare in the boot.

This looks like it my be the one.

yes it is a 14. i got the spare with the car when i got it just over a month ago never thought about it but just went out with the old tape and checked the size and it should fit.

Vauxhall centrebore is about 57mm, so will not fit over the 60mm Renault hub.

 

[1812lsd]

The one I posted above is not it then, as that's a 16". If you did buy it, you would need to get the PCD bored out to 60.1

On a side note, where does the 182 store its towing eye? Went to tow mine the other day and couldn't fine one. Had to borrow one of my old 172.

Originally in the 'tool' kit.

Just to clarify, the PCD is the wheel bolt/stud spacing, the centrebore is the hole in the middle. I suspect the cost to get it neatly machined (unless you know someone with a big lathe) would be prohibitive.

Assuming that would be strapped behind the drivers wheel arch - where I have an empty space and a loose strap!

Thats exactly where it should be!

Brain fart, I meant centre bore
I have just been looking for centre bore machining, and it looks like anywhere between £10 - £50 a wheel depending on where you go.

That looks ideal...
