I have been following the Gnome Spare Wheel thread for a 2016 Ford Mustang and am wondering whether anyone has tried a FG Falcon Space Saver Spare Wheel (SSSW) to see whether it fits the 2016 Mustang wheel fitment. I own a 2016 EB Mustang and have purchased the FG Spare Wheel Kit for my car (cost $77.00) as recommended and wonder whether the FG SSSW will also fit? Your comments would be greatly appreciated.

99.9% sure that you will find that the FG space saver does not even fit over the 4 pot Brembo brakes, which is why the FPV cars came with a full size wheel instead of the space saver.

But as the EB does not have staggered wheels you should be able to put the space saver on the rear and move the stock rear to the front if you have a flat front tyre.

"Gnome Spare works a Treat":)....Just left Kariong Cars & Coffee yesterday to go to Sydney. Just got on the M1 on ramp and got a TPS warning on dash. Had to pull over as 2 lanes merged into one. (very risky as there was no room and everyone was increasing speed to 110k's!) Tyre was changed within 15mins, quickest i've ever changed a flat. lol...Sat on freeway to Sydney and back on 100klm's with no trouble whatsoever. 200klm's on Gnome wheel now.
Thank You.:clap2:

Been there done that, the FG SSSW will not clear the rear caliper.

EB owners should try and source the original Ford SSSW kit, if Ford Australia are too expensive, do what I did and purchase one through ebay from a North American Ford dealer and then keep your EB all original.
For example http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/15-thru-...l-Tire-Kit-with-Jack-Wrench-NEW-/181622931225

Ok I will give that a try. I somehow need to find out if the wheel will fit over GT350 front and rear brakes. I would assume if it fits over PP front calipers that it will fit over GT350 rear calipers but I'm not sure about the front. I know the GT350 front rotors are 15.5" diameter compared to the PP 15" does anyone here have any knowledge of this wheel would fit the GT350?

If I will I wonder if anyone would mind helping me find the falcon spare tire styrofoam setup?

Thanks guys,

Jaime

Just ordered the spare from Tempe Tyres.

FYI they are expecting stock on the 9th or 10th of this month and they have two left so if you need one now is a good time to get it.

You might want that in writing I called weeks ago and called to confirm the above turns out I'm not on the list so Tempe can stick it useless. Lost a sale.

I've done some testing on this. Some 18s can clear the GTPP brakes but there are no 18s that can clear the the GT350 wheels. Also not all 19s can clear the GT350.

I'd take measurements first
