Dear All,

Complete Newbie here, bought our 2007 Doblo yesterday!

It is a 1.9 Multijet 120 Dynamic

Has anyone considered or fitted a full sized spare wheel to this car? The reason I am thinking of doing this as we are going to fit a towbar for our caravan, and I would much rather have a normal sized wheel over a space saver if we puncture whilst towing.

It looks as if there would be room, would just need to either modify or have a new spare wheel carrier made to accommodate the additional depth.

Any ideas/advice on this greatly appreciated!

Thanks for that Barry, I will have a look!

I took my spare out to check condition and tyre pressure and there is a polystyrene spacer piece that sits in the centre of the space saver, but I think the narrow tyre itself contacts the underside of the car, and also the wheel carrier, so a 185 tyre and wheel definitely wouldn't fit!

We have a few jobs to do yet and this one isn't high on the list currently...

Thanks for the reply.

You're right Barry, fill sized spare would fit, as you thought initially!
Had a proper look earlier and measured up, yep, no problem.
Trip to the scrappies now to look for a full size steel wheel with half decent tyre for a spare, splendid.
