I thought they were smaller?

Cheers for the offer, but I have a full sized spare. It’s mismatched to my wheels, and planned to change it to match… but now I’m looking to change from 45 profile to 40, so I’m waiting to save my pocket money for those.

The space saver on the Audi is indeed different and expands to full size and not possible to have a full size matching road wheel spare on those cars. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

Space savers, whilst usually being smaller diameter and narrower than the road wheels, have a tyre size and aspect ratio which effectively gives it the same rolling diameter as the standard road wheels. 2017 4.4 SDV8 Autobiography

I have 4x Grabber AT3 fitted - 255/55/20 but my spare is original Continental Cross Contact 255/50/20. Would this be OK as a get me to a tyre shop solution? If I get a Grabber as a spare and have to air down to get it to fit in the wheel well that’ll trigger a TPMS warning every start up😏 2010 Supercharged |

Should be fine to get to a garage a short distance away just like a space saver. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |
