Hello, im looking at buying a spare wheel for my car

Not much info in terms of what to get, I was hoping to be able to buy something like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FIAT-BRAV...heels_tyre_Trims_Trims_ET&hash=item4adcc6123c


But after some reading people said the brake discs and caliper wont fit inside the wheel, so the other option is to buy a 205 steel wheel instead?

Unless there is another way?

Dont fancy relying on a gunk machine if i get a flat

Thanks

John

I have the 150 Tjet with the red calipers and have no issues with using genuine FIAT space saver wheel (from Doblo I believe).

I have used my space saver wheel on my 2.0 Sport and the brakes were fine, unsure on the size of the wheel though.

gijohn . This sounds like the bravo mk1 wheel to me . My spacesaver spare is 15" diameter.

You are best off going for a 16" steel wheel from a Bravo Active. It fits the spare wheel well OK, and with a standard tyre allows you to avoid the speed limit of a spacesaver, subject to the other tyres being the same size. Trust me, I know, been there, got the tee shirt

Speaking of steel wheels, does anyone know what the length of the bolts should be with the stock Fiat 16" steel wheels? I know the bolts are M12x1,25 but what about the length of the bolts?

Same bolts for 16" alloys and steels

Speed limit for half an hour until you get to repair is a small price compared to not being able to use the spare-wheel space in the trunk for stuff that would otherwise bounce around.
