Space Saver Wheel Sizes?
« on: September 10, 2018, 07:30:10 PM »
Hi All
Just purchased my 2nd Jazz 2012 es CVT

My old Jazz had a 14" space saver wheel, new one only has the kit.
The new one is on 15" road wheels, I have seen several eBay sellers stating 14" can be used on all 14,15 and 16" models...… is this correct?

The overall diameter matters more than the wheel size - on a given vehicle 15" wheels will have lower profile tyres than 14" wheels. However, if the wheel fits the hub then it's likely to be OK for the planned emergency use with the affected corner of the vehicle sitting lower (or higher) on the road. Road-holding is likely to be adversely affected - hence the speed limit when using space savers.

Thanks John, I'll put the space saver in the boot. ;)

It would be prudent to check that it fits the hub. Also measure the difference in diameter.

If it doesn't look good then the Rover 25 space saver fits the Mk 2 Jazz. See https://clubjazz.org/forum/index.php?topic=2772.0.  There are several on 'bay for around £20.
