It is OK to put a directional tyre on the wrong side just not for long and don't do anything silly.My front left tyre developed a bulge in it and the spare came in handy. Obviously since it was on the correct side of the car, I could drive it as per normal. I recommend to anyone to option the spare alloy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did option the premo brakes though, maybe that was the reason, or maybe my salesman was just looking after me?crisso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a wheel bigger than the 16" space saver to fit over them. regards,aa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
