Keeping A Spare In A 182...

[Lou]

Does anyone keep a spare in their boot under one of the nets?
Thought would be a good idea to do this as knowing my luck I'll get a flat in the middle of nowhere!!

 

[paul]

Thought about getting one of these as i found a screw in my rear tyre on sunday evening - i think certain peops have 15" steel wheels as they can fit

 

[-Leigh-]

Yes, but then you'll be as slow as a 172!!

You can keep a spare, and I would if I had one, as I think it's stupid not having one and means you have to call the AA/RAC and wait an hour for them to turn up.

 

[paul]

^^ or we have some crap foam

 

[Lee]

The foam didn't work for me when I had a puncture earlier this year.

 

[-Leigh-]

Yeah, but if you get a hole bigger than a spec of dust, it's damn useless, and once a tyre's been filled with foam, it's ruined, where as it could maybe be repaired if it hadn't been driven far on and swapped with a spare.

 

[paul]

^^ i gathered it would be pants!!

 

[paul]

What wheels fit the 182 please does it have to be a 16" alloy/steel or will a 15" be ok ?? :S or will you be limping down the road

i was under the impression any 4 hole wheel works ? :S

 

[Lou]

Yeah I've got the foam but not heard good stories about it!
Just got to source a spare now!!

 

[hoggaz]

Me too untill a mate gave me a spare from his old corsa which was the same size steelie and contisport tyre as my spare tyre. The offset was the same but the bore of the middle was too small and wouldn't fit on the hub. 20 mins with the angle grinder, then it fit.

Foam is a waste of time, i got a spare wheel/PE2

 

[xcore]

dont they come with a spare?:S

Exactly what I was thinking!! Does it leave much room?

we can all have one each

I bought a spare 182 cup alloy (16in) with PE2 from a write-off. Scratched to f*ck but better than foam. Cost £100 including the tyre.

And it takes up loads of the boot (I travel a lot can cannot fit a suitcase in when I'm carrying the spare)

 

[Gary-Lew]

Yeah theres plenty of room in there for plastic shopping bags etc, forget suitcases though.

Feel sorry for ya

My boot is small enough and that's with the wheel under it

 

[sgtbash999]

dont they come with a spare?:S

no mate - 182's dont come with spares because the twin silencers go right through where the spare is normally kept on other cars.

renault decided to sacrifice practicality in favour of looks and slighly more performance

 

[Ian_182]

wont be much room after a wheel is in there

 

[TrophyDan]

Does anyone know if something like this would be suitable?
Its four stud, i dont know what else to look for.

?

 

[M.C..]

I have a spacesaver for sale and a 182 Cup wheel with tyre if anybody is intrested.

 

[Da]

You need a centre bore of 60.1mm i think it is, PCD should be 4 x 100 and the size of the wheel ideally 15" with a decent profile tyre.

 

[seb]

i've got a 15inch rim witha new tyre with only 40 road mile use.

it is in car parts for sale. i have used it on my 182 before.

free to anyone who comes to collect.

pm me.

Hmmm, cheers Daz.

Seb you have pm.

 

[AliasOmega]

the 182 uses 205/45/16 tyres, therefore if you fitted a 15 rim, can you not get a 205/60/15 or even a 205/70/15 tyre to fit to take up gap.?

 

[Dcds4]

just chuck the spare in behind the drivers seat, no leg room for passengers but prob squeeze a wheel in

 

[fad]

I'd just get a air compressor and AA memebership. Cheaper than a new wheel and can be used for all kinds of situations

Amen to that! I find the foam really good for what it is tbh...

I paid £40 for my 182 cup alloy with PE2 tyre which gets strapped into the boot on long journeys.

I dont bother carrying it around all the time. If im local to home and have a flat I plan on calling someone out to bring me my spare wheel
