Was trying to get a 22 inch alloy as a spare for my l322. Then I checked the spacesaver, it's actually bigger than my 22s. Can I use it as a spare in an emergency?

I always thought the sizes needed to be the same, but have been corrected by those on here way more knowledgable than I am on such things as differentials & drivetrain.....

The consensus seems to be yes - you'll be fine.

Others have pointed out that a tin of tyre weld & a compressor take up even less space......

A space saver seems to be a step above tyre weld - if your tyre shreds or has a big hole, that's its place.

Having had a puncture in the middle of nowhere, in France, on Sunday, with 300+ miles still to drive, I always go for a full size spare.

OK cool, thanks for reply. I've no intentions of driving long distances, it's just for an emergency back up. I'm never more than 50 miles from home.

what do you mean by its bigger??? ... - .- -.

I put the spacesaver next to my 22s and it is around an inch bigger in diameter.
