hi purchased new 19 inch alloy off ebay £150 tyre £60 and jack £30 wheel fits nice just let pressure down slightly
Top job hubcaps, another solution should folks be looking into this subject :thumbup:hubcaps said:Driving round Europe in the summer and like the guys and gals here didn't fancy doing 2500 miles ish without a spare wheel of some sort. So onto EBay and got a 17" alloy from a 407 with a 215/55/17 tyre. This is only about 2.5mm less in overall diameter than the 19" tyres and unlike a spacesaver, allows you to get on your way at more than 50 mph. Also bought an insert for the spare with jack etc included. Ok, so it will only fit the rear but so what? The cost? Well I've saved nearly £500 by going down this route instead of a 19 incher. It has the same offset (45) and same bolt pitch (108) as standard. Sorted!!

The jack fits perfectly. The wheel bolt holes are the same pitch as the 19"s and the bore is 65.1mm which is the same as well.

Now that's what I call a genius suggestion ..... Are you a lawyer by any chance :eusa-think:
