escrt1.4i Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 right as i have now fitted my 300mm brakes on the front i just realised my spare is now no good to me and i will need a spare about 16 inch minimum do ford do a 16 inch steel or will i need a alloy and will it fit in my gti spare wheel hole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squiz Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 should fit with the right size tyre cos the rolling radius should be the same thats why the profile gets less as the diameter increases...might need a thinner wheel as a spare though or itll be proud of the floor in the boot.like the spacesaver idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escrt1.4i Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 (edited) i no what yous saying basically i was wondering if a 16 mondy gti style wheel would fit with as low prof tyre as i can get some thing like a 195 35/40 16 Edited June 4, 2010 by escrt1.4i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightningescort1 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 16 with a 45 profile will fit . I think even a 50 profile would go in but not 100 percent on that.  I have some 16s in the garage at moment with 55 profile and no spare in at mo so il see how that fits in a minute and let you know mate .

lightningescort1 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Ok the 55 is just too big but a 50 will squeeze in mate . Hth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hicksy Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I think ive read before for a mondy 16 the tyre ideally needs to be 195 45 16 to fit in the wheel well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightningescort1 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 45 profile will just drop in with ease 50 profile (cheaper) will slide in with a bit of help lol but will fit . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
