Space saver spare wheel

[paul james]

I know they are generally disliked, but I was wondering if there are any other Vauxhalls that as standard have a space saver spare wheel that will fit a Nova?

I've run my Nova with no spare wheel at all for most of the time, but carry a can of that tyre weld stuff. Which isn't exactly ideal if a tyre gets anything other than a small puncture. I was thinking a slimmer space saver wheel would at least save some weight over carrying a full size steel wheel or alloy.

Any suggestions?

i have a calibra one in my nova. the std 13" rim is way lighter, but if you have 256 brakes, then it won't fit on the front.. co you could put it on the back & put the back one on the front, or like i did, get a cheap space saver..mine cost a fiver and is unused

Ah cool, I had assumed that it would have been newer vauxhalls that had them, didn't even think of the likes of the Calibra having a space saver wheel. I do indeed have 256mm brakes, so I'll keep an eye out for a cheap calibra space saver, cheers.
