Default Spacesaver on rear to move car into the garage?

Quick question


I'm aware of what is stated in the manual regarding moving front wheel to back and spare to front (in the case of a flat etc), however, I'm simply wanting to remove my rear wheel to refurb and fit the spacesaver in its place for 24,hours.....


Question - do you think this would cause any issues if I simply drive the car into my garage and back out again with the spacesaver fitted? Will it even fit on the rear??

Thanks



Tom

You're over thinking it.

You'll be fine.

You'll do a massive dought wheel spin and end up sideways in your garage - then it'll be like austin powers trying to get it out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_phIEDsEPA

Make sure you've got a very low profile jack, mine was too tall so the spacesaver was still in the air when it was fully dropped
