Cypher at standard level
Default WTB: spare rim/tyre

My car has 19 inch rims including a 19 inch spare in the boot. It's taking up too much space.
So I wanna put my volk spare in the garage and just put a stock standard shitty spare back in.

Anyone got one lying around?
05 STI

??? Im confused. You want to keep your 19" rims on your car but you want a 17" spare wheel? If i have this correct then your next add will be somewhere along the line of front or rear diff wanted.

it is an emercency spare...

so having a 17" space saver as a spare is not a problem.

I have a brand new one from a MY06 STI spec C.

I also noticed that you want a standard BOV, I have one of those too.

pm if interested

As long as the rolling diameter is the same (rim + tyre), a different sized spare rim will be okay. Obviously different wheel widths, offset, weights etc. can affect performance (so don't have it on longer than needed) but as long as the rolling diameters are as close as possible, the diffs shouldn't have a sad.
