I have the same problem. A little logistics helps you solve it. Im a bit tight at the moment, so what I do if and when I get a flat, is just use a stock 13 inch rim with 65 profile, take the back wheel off, put it on the front (which has the 240k brakes), and put the stock rim on the back. Should work if you don�t have a disk brake rear, and the 65 profile on a 13 inch is pretty much the same (just a bit smaller) than a 195/50/15.
By the way... I put my new brakes (240ks) on today... couldn�t test them as the battery went flat after sitting in my driveway for about a month for no apparent reason. -James -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Cam McKinnon Sent: Thursday, 26 December 2002 7:41 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: pre christmas trip question... Yeah, well that's what I'm told, but because I haven't done it myself, can't guarantee. The early silvia stuff has 4 stud, not 5 like the S14 and S15's. Re Speed limits on the space saver....I think that sick arse S14 GreenGhost runs 10second 1/4's with those space saver rims haning on up front, I guess for that aero saving front runner shite they do, don't think they were designed for that :)) Cheers, Cam CM510 www.cm510.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "D-Frag Solutions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, December 26, 2002 8:29 PM Subject: Re: pre christmas trip question... > So import Silvia's have the same stud pattern? > > Iggy > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Cam McKinnon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Thursday, December 26, 2002 5:03 PM > Subject: Re: pre christmas trip question... > > > > A 15" space saver wheel and tire from an import Silvia should do the trick > > mate. > > > > (it'll look pretty pox if you have to use it....but hey, it beats walking > I > > suppose) > > > > Justin at Just Silvia parts has a heap of them. > > > > Cheers, > > > > Cam > > CM510 > > www.cm510.com > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "GREENBURY, Andrew Robert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Sent: Thursday, December 26, 2002 3:09 PM > > Subject: pre christmas trip question... > > > > > > > > > > Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, and thanks to everyone for their > help > > > this year. > > > > > > One last question before going on a road trip - what does everyone do > > > about a spare wheel when running wider than standard tyres on a 1600? > > > > > > Ive got 195/50 R15s, and the same on the spare results in it not fitting > > > under the fuel tank in the wheel well.
