space saver

[ajs]

Outbid on another 17 inch space saver on ebay, it went for £132.99.
Going to order the rim myself and find a 135/80/17 tyre to fit.
Rim part number is 36116750007.

Would a 125/80/17 tyre be suitable as this is the tyre most of the space savers i have seen come with.

ajs, is your's a 3.0 Si? If not a 16" will be fine - cheaper and easier to find.

I bought a new wheel from Joe, a Volvo space saved (cheap) and swapped the tyre, details on here...

its a 3.0si, so will def need a 17" to clear brakes.
Just enquired with BM MINI parts for a price of the wheel.

Try some more obscure searches like 'E46 wheel' or 'E46 spare'
Got my 17" for £30 on fleabay

Alternative - try calling anyone breaking an e46 330 as they have the larger calipers
