Spare wheel for a 182 Trophy

[YORKSHIRELAD]

So, I am always a bit paranoid about getting stranded with a puncture so I was wondering if anybody knew what type/size of rim would fit on the 182 Trophy giving the right offset and to clear the brake caliper etc.
Any help and advice will be appreciated,
Cheers
Andrew

Just buy another 16" turini.

Standard 182/172 alloys can be had for cheap can't they? That's what I've got as a spare if I'm going on a longer trip.

Great, thanks for the advice. A Turini would be good but I suppose it might be easier to find a wheel from a 172/182; I'll have a look on Ebay,

Cheers

I've got a cheap 15" Clio steel wheel spare in the garage you can have

Cheers mate but I'm not sure if that would be any good as they are 16 inch wheels on the car.

If using a 15" rim fit a 195/55/15 tyre. The difference in rolling radius between 205/45/16 and 195/55/15 is 0.4%. You're not going to cause any damage with that.

Aye as Plenty said it's only to get you out of a pickle if you need it

I just carry a pump and a pack of tyre repair plugs

OK, thanks for all your suggestions, I might just get some repair plugs as I carry a pump in the car anyway.
