Would a 16" Wheel fit on an Insignia with 18" wheels?

[Vaux-Man-G]

Guys,

I dont have the car here but need some info.

I need a spare for the Insignia and the car has the standard 18" Alloys - SRI.

Would a 16" space saver fit the car as its designed for 18" wheels? Will it fit over the discs and caliper?

Also, whats the standard space save size in these Insignias?

They have replaced them with these silly tyre inflation kits.

Thanks.

16" Will fit mate but you do know you can get a full size 18" alloy in your boot dont ya?

How ?? I have tried and it stick up sooo much that ir raises the boot carpet loads. So effectively its uneven.

Yes mate but you can buy from vauxhall boot floor lifting bits that are only £10 each fella. Give me 5 mins ill take a picture of what it looks like in my boot and ill get part numbers

not lowered mate but lifted as pic,hope this helps you

Ahhh. I see, it lifts the carpet, etc, level with the wheel.

Good thinking - I like that idea.

Well ill still look into a space saver until a suitable 18" comes along.

But thank you - picture speaks a thousand words!!

Right as you can see in the picture my 18" alloy sits in the well and theres 2 black bits added around the alloy to flatten the boot out



Will the top back on now you can see the boot has raised up slightly but you dont loose much and your boot is now flat again



Part numbers for the black bits are:

13249755
13249757
