Silver! Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 I bought a space saver and carry it on long road trips. Not sure if it will fit now I have 280mm discs though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weslangdon Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 Lupo and Arosa Sport models got a standard space saver because of the position of the exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 14 space saver we put in, tried it following the 256mm upgrade to GTI brakes and there's around 10-13mm clearance between wheel and brake. I'm almost certain that with the extra width the 280mm carriers put on it will catch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weslangdon Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) 256mm were standard on the Golf Mk2 16v after the 1st face lift in 1987 so shouldn't be an issue with a 14" wheel but will require a bigger wheel for a 280 up grade Edited August 3, 2016 by weslangdon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I got a puncture I had a right kerfuffle switching the wheels around to get the space saver on the back and the back wheel on the front where the puncture had been (it wouldn't have been quite so bad if I hadn't have already taken the punctured wheel off)?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 That's what I assumed. Took a spare Bathurst on my last Euro road trip in 2014. Seats flat and used a couple of heavy duty cable ties to hold it to the rear seat mount (seats flat). Doing a long UK trip in a couple of weeks, may just take a full size again.

It just takes longer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
