jasol Member 571 Member For: 16y 1m 13d Location: adelaide Posted 09/05/14 11:57 AM Share Posted 09/05/14 11:57 AM Hey all. Got a flat today on the front. Grabbed the spare fitted it but it hits the caliper. It's a standard 16" falcon steel rim. Is this what I'm suppose to have? Because if so it seams if I get a flat on the front I need to pull a rear rim off to and then fit the spare to the rear? Surely this isn't the process cos that might stuff the lsd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't think a factory spare wouldn't fit over the brakes...mine had a normal 17" spare but it was the cops that bought it new so maybe they ordered it as an extra?
