billytheghillie Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Long shot, but just taken delivery of a 2018 plate Suzuki Vitara and as with latest cars there is no spare wheel. Anybody have one for sale? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stimo22 Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 The problem is not getting a new wheel, it is where to put it. I have a 2010 three door vitara and it had no spare wheel. Managed to get one but it would take up the whole boot and to hang on real door would require new door and rear valance as they are different. Now just taking up room in garage. Space saver wheel might fit but if yours is a three door you still need to find a space to fit it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Boggy Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 When I bought a 3 door Vitara without the wheel on the back door a few years ago, I queried this with the guy at the garage saying that I would prefer the reassurance of having a spare on board. His reply was -: "When did you last have a puncture ?" I replied that I couldn`t remember the last time and went away happy. Blow me down, if I didn`t get a puncture two weeks later . The next Suzuki I bought didn`t have a spare only one of those horrible kit things, so I paid out and got a spare with it as there was a well in the back for it to go. Guess what, four years later, I`ve never had a puncture !! It`s still reassuring to have one though. OB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old'un Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 I had the same thing, new jeep and no spare but lifting the floor panel in the rear there is a well for a full size spare, so I purchased one, that was 3 years ago, not needed it yet but should I get a bad puncture at least I can keep going, the repair kit is only any good for small slow punctures, most likely never need it but I like the reassurance of having it.

London Best Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 No spare wheel with a vehicle is a deal breaker for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenholland Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 you can order one from your dealer , to give you peace of mind , they used to put in the boot a foam tyre filler in emergency , I think it was to cut down on cost's , that we lost that spare , reminds me of that record, three wheels on my wagon , and i'm still rolling along , good luck.

steve s×s Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 I saw john Wayne replace a wagon wheel with a fence post and beat the Carp out of a bunch of Indians (spare wheels) 🤪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
