Several parts issues
Discussion
Hey Guys,
I'm still struggling trying to find a few parts for my 95 S4. I am looking for a spare tire/wheel(temp) and attachment bolt. I have been told this part is not avail. from Lotus any longer and I can't find it in stock anywhere. I also need new lug bolts. Are these Lotus only or from another vehicle? Any help would be greatly apperciated as I have exhausted all my known resources.
Thanks, Rob

I know you have asked this question before. If all the usual sources struck out, this couldn't hurt. There is a 16 piece lug set for a Lotus Elite for sale on E-bay. Ask the guy selling it if he might know. The guy selling the nice optional OZ five star Esprit wheels also has a bunch of Lotus stuff.

Rob,
Found the parts you are looking for. Yes your right Lotus have discontinued the spare wheel but have only done this for spare wheel only. If you buy the spare wheel & tyre assmebly they are availible from PNM Engineering on 0151 630 6101 ask for Pete. He is the most helpful guy I have met. Always willing to give time. He said that any 5 stud steel wheel will fit with a PCD of 108. The actual size of your wheel is 5.5J x 14" and the tyre 175/70 R14. This is easier said than done as there are only a couple of cars with this. A vauxhall Carlton/ Omega but Omega is 15". This really doesn't make much difference. The other car is a Renault Espace but it has to be a V6. You can pick these up from any scrap yard and paint it white. If you want the genuine Webbo wheel and tyre, it will cost you £204+VAT. The jack and wrench is £20+VAT and the genuine tool kit is £51+VAt. He did say that if the tool kit doesn't have the Lotus badge on, don't buy it because it's crap.
If you ring him mention my name, you never know, I might get a discount on my next service!
