So, fitting the 3.5 inch space saver wheel on my daily hack when the other wheels are 7 inches wide and bigger in rolling diameter would be illegal then?

unless it was like that from the factory.


I see a lot of people driving round with the space saver on the front. I would certainly never do that.


they obviously haven't read their owners manuals then have they!

About spacesavers, I have a handbook for a Porsche that was sold in the UK. It said that the spacesaver was illegal to use in the UK and to ring Porsche and they would tow your car free to a tyre service!

As far as I know the spacesaver is in fact illegal in NSW but the authorities will turn a blind eye.

If going super big badass wheels on one end, shouldn't they be on the front?

EDIT: Added this bit. When we got ID10CY it had the Advan A008's on the rear, and some sh*tty Bridgestone things on the front. Drove like crap.

Well- my 2nd Minimatic with the 1100S auto dropped in was like that, the previous dude had 12" Hillman Imp wheels on front with high profile crossply rubber. 10s on the back. Gearing son, gearing.... :wink:
