Does anyone know WHY space savers have a speed/mileage restriction? I've often wondered. Prolly worth finding out too, before using them as normal wheels

Well I know that I wouldn't fancy doing any high speed cornering on tyres that thin!

Prolly worth finding out too, before using them as normal wheels I think it was a compromise with construction and use regulations regarding not being allowed to have different sized wheels on the same axle. This is the reason I was given too.... the tyres themselves should be good for over 50mph but it'll mess the handling up so much with just one on, that you're limited for safety. Quite like the idea of banded spacesavers though, would it cause any brake cooling problems? The advantage of spacesavers is that they come in whatever PCD the car uses, but are large steelies. Bizarrely my mate's 53-plate vectra has quite a nice spacesaver.... in a full-sized wheel well! |

i sort of like ur idea robinxr4i, in fact i was thinking about the same thing whilst i was on the bus this morning, banded space savers on the back and standard width ones on the front, itd be worth trying just for the laugh if owt else.
banded SS's alround would be much more sensible and probably cooler tho

space savers on the front would look curse word

if you ever use that car for drag racing etc it would be cool but for your daily ride i think it might be abit dangerouse try going for some mk2 xr2 steels 13inch wide and some dish on them and then the wellers on the rear worth doing if not just to try and get some pictures you can always put your old wheels back on anytime

seems daft to me, space savers are ooogly, and the full size spare wheels fitted to the Ford Puma are 15" steelies with a decent offset anyway so i cant see the point mucking about with spacesavers.
