Space-saver wheel for Cerb/Tusc/Tam

[else]

I am looking for a space saver wheel for my chim once i have fitted the 5 stud conversion.
Does anyone know if Cerb/Tusc/Tam were supplied with a space saver or just the can of tyre weld.
Is it 114 or 114.3? Can anyone tell me the exact PCD? I can then search for space savers from other manufacturers.

Thanks all.

Tam and Tusc are both supplied with a can of goo.

Cerbs come with white poo too.

I was thinking the same thing after seeing this

Don't know if the Audi's hubs are modded but if not and Audi have a space saver then it could be the answer.

Interesting, I have a UR quattro and a spare set of cerb 16" wheels, going to try them on some time, I think the PCD may be the same, will let you know when I get round to it.....

Nice one Sparticus. I presume that Audi uses a spacesaver?

The audi is probably better with the offsets of a tuscan wheel rather than a cerb wheel BUT I guess as the stud pattern is the same that an Audi space save will work.

Or you can carry a cheap 12v compressor to keep topping up the tyre if you get a slow puncture, keeping a can of goo as well for use on faster leaks. And your RAC card in case of total disaster.

Sorry, yes it does, its a bloody skinny think too, would guess its only a 4" rim!

Have a look at this thread, looks as though 114.3 (or 4.5 inch) is the correct PCD: www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=66861&f=5&h=0&hw=pcd

Have found this site that lists PCDs of most makes and models: www.klubas.autos.lt/index.php?group=technika&topic=zinynas&src=wheels

Looks as though Audi quattro is 112mm.

Would you really want to drive a TVR on a space saver ? Someone mentioned in another thread having done it once for a few miles and the car was undriveable... Personally I prefer the boot space - only had 1 flat in 21 years of driving up to 40k a year (and that was my own stupid fault) so its the least of my worries. Plenty of other things more likely to go wrong in a big way than the tyres.

So its a can of tyre weld, a foot pump and the good old RAC card for me :-)

Not wanting to rain on anyones parade, but if you put AUDI PCD into google it seems they are 112mm.
The spiders pcd is 114.3mm, I reckon the audi owner shown is "squeezing" them on. Would you want to drive a TVR with a space saver, let alone one that doesnt fit correctly??????????????

Aren't the 5 stud hubs Chrysler - anything in their parts bin?

Yeah, I would probably make do with the above in the UK but i am intending to travel across france in the summer and i don't fancy being stranded waiting for a grumpy frenchman to recover me to a garage that will then rip me off for a new tyre. I'd rather limp to a tyre place under my own steam as it were and have the option to go elsewhere if need be. I could carry a full size spare but that will seriously restrict the luggage space. Andy

Nissan Skyline,sx200, mazda Rx7,and alot of toyota's(and lexus is's) are 5x114.3
