im going to sort a spare wheel out in the next few weeks so i can get rid of the fix and go kit.

im thinking just getting a 15" steelie like on the actives, and a budget tyre.

will it matter if i have 1 15" and 3 17" wheels? obviously it will only be for a short distance to keep me out of trouble!
and will i be able to use the same bolts?
 
Try and match the original wheels rolling radius as closely as possible and you should be fine.

185/65/15 is close or 195/60/15 is closer if it will fit on the rim.

Ittl just be like having a space saver really, and obviously due to the increased sidewall you'll wander a little more when cornering to that side.

Bolts depends on the rim really, dont forget your alloys take a tapered bolt, this will likely not tighten up correctly on a steely.

Just about :), its the same one supplied on Bravo/a, Mareas etc which weigh more.

For piece of mind though I went out and bought a 2 ton scissor jack and have it in the spare wheel well along with my spare mjet wheel, wheel brace etc.

If your not built like a brick sh*thouse then you may find a decent brace rather than that POS that FIAT give is more useable.
