spaire wheel

If you fit different sized wheels on the rear you will cause the differential to overheat if you drive any distance, on the front it will affect your steering and may well be illegal/invalidate your insurance.
You can probably get a 'temporary spare' (one of those thin spares with a yellow speed warning sticker on it) from somewhere if you look hard enough

This is exactly what I meant .. I have a thin spire wheel that cam of e46
My apologies I misunderstood. However other comments still apply, you should not fit different sized wheel on either front or rear of your car...kunta said:thmcbutler said:If you fit different sized wheels on the rear you will cause the differential to overheat if you drive any distance, on the front it will affect your steering and may well be illegal/invalidate your insurance.

The definitive answers are:
The wheel must be clearly a space saver wheel placarded as such with time/speed/distance limits..so a ‘normal’ albeit different size wheel is NOT acceptable... :thumbsdown:
On a normal open differential car such as all stock E89 Z4s there is no restriction on space saver wheels save obeying the time /speed/distance limits imposed by the space saver wheel...ie the differential is not a limit factor..
