Spare wheel or full size wheel?

[m112]

Hello,

I have a spare full size 215/55 r18 tyre. Started to think about getting a spare space saver wheel.

I found R16 space saver on ebay but having a spare tyre is not going to be cheaper to by full size rim? I have had a quick look but I can only find alloys.

Could somone please recommend where could I get a steel wheel rim for 215/55 r18 - so I could have a think what option will be cheaper?

Cheers

Something to beware of, perhaps ?
If you buy a full size spare wheel, don’t forget that you will struggle to store it in the car.
The spare wheel well is designed for the space saver and I suspect that a full size spare will be pretty inconvenient to carry round in the car, taking up valuable space which is already in short supply.

Thanks I will buy the space saver, Just need to figure out why sellers sell 125 90 r18 on ebay. I thought 145 are compatible with j11

.
Ring your local dealer and ask for a price and casually ask for the wheel/tyre size.
Only costs a phone call to get the correct information
