Spare Wheel?
 

Hey guys,

Anyone have a spare wheel/space saver for the 86? mine should be arriving in the next 2 weeks! would rather have a spare in the back then the puncture repair kit.

Cheers :)

Yeh I got a spare wheel, but am looking for a space saver.

I got a space saver as an optional extra. I have only had 1 flat tyre in the last 10 plus years and that was a rock through the side wall. No repair kit is going to fix that.

DarkNeo, I'm in Perth too, sent you PM!

Cheers guys, Thanks k1 :) Will pick one up from you soon.

Yeah I can't believe they dropped the space saver though. I have only ever had 1 flat Tyre in my life and the wheel was shredded from a nail & was not even fixable with a puncture repair kit.

Would not want to be leaving the 86 on the side of the road for the night that is for sure!

I'm planning to get myself a Subaru 5x100 space saver, as I have no faith in the puncture repair kit, and a full size spare poking out of the boot floor is just plain ugly.

Where can we order space savers from ?

Look up gumtree or at wreckers

So I finally managed to track down a 135/70/17 space saver from a Subaru parts specialist for only $80! I didn't want a full size spare because they're heavier and I really hate the donut boot mat.

I needed to get a 17" STI space saver in order to clear my Brembo calipers, and these type of space savers are pretty hard to get (and expensive), as they're only from the 02-04 STI models.

They fit perfectly in the wheel well, and the boot mat sits nice and flat. Now I just need to get the spare wheel bolt to secure it.

Aren't STI's 5x114.3 ?

On 05+

What parts specialist did you use? Still need to get one for my 86
