Right then,

Quick debate time please.

Spare Wheels - Yes we have all moaned about them and would all love one but dont want to spend the £500 for the skinny ford one.

I am now going to have a spare wheel but have a dilema.

I have just ordered a new set of wheels which should land in a few weeks and i have long been contemplating what to do with the old ones. I had originally thought that I would keep them and have them as a set of winter wheels but i dont really have anywhere to keep them and the front are no longer useable so would need to replace the front tyres which I dont want to do, and im going to be using the old TPMS.

So my thoughts were look for 3 people who wants to buy a wheel and sell 3. but now the dilema, if you were keeping a wheel would it be a front or a rear ?

I do not know what the fitment is like for either wheel in the boot so that may answer the question, but what would you do.

I have gone for a set of MRR M350 wheels (GT350 Replica) which come as a 19x10 and 19x11 so my feaaling was to keep a rear so that would suit better on the front if I had to drive on that.

or failing this, i will have a set of wheels with 2 tyres available next month.

A rear wheel fitted on the front will catch the strut on the inside...

A front wheel will fit on the rear without catching anything
