Space saver with Spoon calipers
 

I understand that the space saver should not be used on the rear of the car due to the diff, so if you have a rear puncture you put the front wheel on the rear and the spacer saver on the front. But I'm pretty sure that I won't fit the space saver on the front now due to the Soon calipers, so should I just remove it and drive around with a can of foam in the boot/area where the space saver was?

You could try and fit it, see if it still goes but if not I'd do as you suggest. no point carrying one that doesn't fit :)

My M hasn't got a space saver either, just comes with a pump and a can of pop from the factory.

Just join the RAC and ask for a low loader should that situation ever arise.

I'm already with the RAC.

Worst "I've got spoon calipers" thread ever!! :tipwink:

If it comes to it get recovered.

Is it possible to get a different space saver wheel with a bigger offset that will fit the wheel as well as the boot?

Ive got Spoon calipers and at the time had OEM 16" wheels so fitted 15mm front spacers. With the 15mm spacers the spare wheel does fit, rather begrudgingly I must add as I hoped for an excuse to remove it and get a pump and tyre weld. I haven't driven with the spare fitted, just got curious so jacked the car up, bolted on spare and it spun freely!

I've got 10mm spacers on the front of mine, can you remember how much clearance you had with the 15mm spacers?

Could always chuck an extra 5mm spacer in with the spare wheel I guess

Ah yeah, simple things. :)
