Full-size 17” spare wheel…

[LondonLad]

Hi All,
Anyone used these guys? I emailed and they said the tyre was a Landsail tyre.

I want a full size spare but not finding any easy options to buy a single steel wheel and then get a tyre fitted after or just get below as cheapest option?

17" Steel spare wheel & 235/55R17 tyre compatible with VW Transporter T5/T6 (2003-present day)

Thanks

There’s a few people on here (and some converters) that put up steel wheels with tyres for free.

The 17’s are a little less common but do pop up.

Do you need a 17” or could you fit a 16” over your brakes?

From what I have read think it would have to be a 17, don’t really want to have to swap front to back if it’s a front puncture to put spare on rear.

@LondonLad
Don't buy new, it'll only mean its more nickable by tea leafs.
The under mounted spare is easily stolen.
Try to find a wheel with a just legal tyre, to use for a spare.
Just sayin'

Maybe?

Does a 16” go over your brakes?

I'm after a used 16 in knackered wheel for my new van. Other than Facebook, where's best to look?

I'm still recovering from a recent FB "experience" after I tried to sell a caravan on Marketplace and it was grim.

Yeah, just a bit worried they were nicked...

It’s a good point, but many are converters so hopefully are legitimate.

Good point - hopefully never use it so why get a fancy tyre and wheel

I gave away 4 16” steel wheels with legal tyres on here.
Try the “Wanted” forum.

Paisley Freight ship wheels. I once wrapped some then found out I'd not needed to.

I’ve got an old 16” that’s sat in the garden for a few years.

I grabbed a few from a converter who was having a clear out - it’s well used, so unlikely to be the thief’s first choice.

It’s yours free if you want to sort shipping.

 

[Jay586]

Thanks, I'll try my local garage first. They might have something kicking around. I'll come back to you, if I don't get anywhere. Very much appreciated.

If 16” is any good….

Brand new steel wheels, continental 16", still have lines on them, removed from a new T6.1 but will fit all transporters except the T32 version with large brake discs. Collection from Leicester or Nottingham depending on the time, I also have alloys. Happy to sell as singles but at £50 per wheel. Always lots in stock due to lots of conversions. Cheers Lee
