    Newbie

    Hi all I am newbie to your club I'm living in benfleet Essex. Have purchased a 1988 MR2 MK1 without a spare wheel. Can anybody tell me if it was fitted with a space saver wheel or a normal wheel and tyre,can anybody tell me where I can acquire one or will one from another model car and make fit.
    Regards
    Brian

    Normal wheel is fitted not a space saver. Plenty floating about on the Internet. What wheels are currently fitted to the car? Original teardrop ones?
    Plenty with 4x100 fitment will fit. But an original wheel isn't expensive.

    Welcome brian.
    I am pretty close to you and Alex (superwhite) is not far either so we may all get to a meet in the summer.

    Good luck with the new car

    Hi Brian,

    Welcome to the club and as Chrys said I am close, in Wickford.

    A full size 14" spare fits well in the front and if you get a full size wheel, turn it around so you can store things in the inner rim of the wheel.

    Hi Brian,

    welcome along.

    I have a spare (original) Mk1 wheel with tyre if you are looking for one.. £20 buys it. Alternatively I have a space saver wheel which will do the job which you can have for £30. I'm in St Albans, Herts if you wish to collect.

    Cheers

    Ollie
