Apparently it's the space saver and something to do with the cars computer skid traction getting confused because one wheel is going faster than the other so it try's to brake on the space saver,

space savers are meant to handle twenty five inch mags

who told you that?

Sounds to me like space saver is a smaller aftermarketto the stock wheel. Trac control attempts to brake this wheel as it appears to be spinning (because it has to rotate at a higher rpm to cover the same distance as the stock wheel) and brakes get hot.

Team Hutchison ford told me that they handle up to twenty five inch mags after the last fire I thought I'd make sure they could handle my twenty inch mags so I rang them to ask

What profile tyres are on the 20inch rims? I'm guessing that their rolling diameter is way more than the stock space saver, they need to be the same or pretty close
