my new 1275 LS came with only a 10 inch spare , which is fine if I have a flat on the back, but if it happens on the front I'm up the creek ,does anyone know of any current cars with 12inch wheels I can get a spare from?, A friend told me a HB torana wheel may fit allthough I haven't tried one yet , or how about an early Ford fiesta?, thanks Tony

I have the same problem.

Solution - mini jack will jack up whole side of car - swap rear to front then spare on rear.

Takes an extra 2 minutes.

hb torana, what size is that 12", i got two rims on my moke that are very similiar stud pattern but never seen the rim before any way on knowing what it is?
the treads are awesome, im keeping them for when moke is built will be great in scrub, but if i can find a 12" wheel in my shed for ya Ill let you know

Monaro

Gidday-I notice that you are in Tas-so maybe there are more Hillman Imps over
there than 1275LS,as the 12inch Imp steel rims will fit.

Imp rims are a go,,,but there are 2 different patterns so check before you buy them,,,also they`re a very week rim,,,don`t trust them for "spirited" driving

I have a full set of 1275LS std rims here but will only sell as a set

cheers

You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

thanks for the imput guys, not sure which way I'll go yet ,I may consider getting some mags, what do you guys think about the new mags for sale on ebay at Wheels online ?, I think they are only $600 with 145 tyres or $780 with 165 tyres on them, Tony

I say you get what you pay for
