I have just fitted my new wheels, but now that I am running 15's I am unable to screw the spare wheel cap on, as most Nova owners have got larger wheels how does everyone keep them from flying around in the boot?

Can of tyreweld.

Don't even have a spare-wheel well, since it was removed and plated over for the center exit 'zaust to go underneath it.

The screw cap should fit in the middle of the wheel and onto the plastic bolt if not make the bolt longer.

I would use tyreweld but if you use it you've gotta buy a new tyre.

and you gotta drive with a flat for about 15miles or so not good on alloys.

most punctures can't be repared though. it is only a small area that is legal to patch up

MOT law stats that if a spare wheel is in the vehicle it has to be road legal.


So you that need a spare wheel. The VX220 doesn't have a spare wheel all it has is a can of tyre weld and thats standard from the factory.
