Space Saver Spare

Post by thrash »

might be a dumb question but.. does offset matter when you buy spare saver wheels? or will anything that is 4x114.3 do?

No so long as it clears the brakes, space savers are generally too narrow to hit the strut or push past the guards.

Evo 1-3 are 4 stud, you can also get silvia space savers as they come dime a dozen.

Spare in a can is just a tyre puncture foam, you can get it from any autoshop, i think even kmart sells it. Note though it does limit your top speed to 50km so it wont help if you do alot of highway driving, and tyre places hate the stuff to, choose the tyre place you hate the most when you go to actually repair the puncture. :D
