I have been looking for a space saver for a 2024 jazz Crosstar and have been offered one from a Rover.
On the rim it says 31/2 Jx15,H2x45, 1420, RRC116520.
Tyre size is125/80/15,
It is 4 stud, 4” stud centres,
I want to know for sure before buying it
Thanks no

I don’t know how the no came up, should be JUST THANKS

I bought an unused Rover spacesaver from a scrapyard for my Mk3. I would check the date on the tyre as they don’t last for ever even if unused. I think the same dimensions apply to the Mk 4.

Hi thanks for that,
Has the Rover wheel you bought got the same size and information stamped on it as mine
Could you check it for me please
Thanks

I no longer have it as it was well over 10 years old when I swapped the car for a Mk4. I no longer carry a spacesaver. The date of manufacture is in a box on the tyre wall - it consists of 4 digits. The first 2 are the week no and the last 2 the year, so 1420 on yours means week 14 of 2020. It should be good for a few years yet.
I can’t remember the dimensions, but I think 125/80/15 means 15” diameter rim, 125 mm tyre width and 80% of that, I.e. 100 mm for tyre depth. If I’m wrong, no doubt someone else will correct me!

I think a spacesaver from a 2001 -2014 'BMW' mini would fit the Jazz They have the same centre bore (56.1) and 100 mm 4 stud spacing.(maybe a legacy from Rover) But not one from a later mini which are 5 stud.
But a mini spacesaver tyre could be at least 10 years old anyway and it wont necessarily be easier to find than one for a Jazz, which could be cheaper.
A full sized wheel from a 2001-2014 mini will also fit a Jazz but might need tapered wheel nuts rather than the Honda domed seat types. Maybe easier just to get a Honda wheel,. Even a spacesaver claimed to be from a Jazz might need tapered nuts. Buying and carrying an extra set of wheel nuts might not be a deal breaker but could be a pita if didnt check.

Try and get a loan of a space saver and drive with it fitted to a rear position then a front position.
I drove a jazz with a space saver once - never again!!
In response to next comment, the car was driven as recommended and even at lwest speed felt very unstable.

The spacesaver is simply a reliable way of getting you slowly to a garage. I have only used one once, on a hire car in Italy and it was invaluable. The garage swapped the hire car so our holiday was not disrupted for long. I don’t carry one now as I’ve decided I’m too old to change a wheel! I will rely on Honda assistance instead, or perhaps, reluctantly, the gunk.

I did a bit of research into the spacesaver for a mini. It said that on some cooper models its advisable to only use a spacesaver on the rear . If necessary you may need to do a double wheel change ,swopping a full sized wheel from the rear to the front. :o I dont know if this is because coopers have larger front brakes calipers, or just a sensible precaution in view of their extra performance.
When I was looking for a second set of wheels back in 2021 I noticed that a major manufacturer of after market steel rims had a version specified for mk1,2 and 3 Jazz but had introduced a new wheel model for the mk4 (which was also suitable for earlier cars) It had the same centre bore size, PCD and E/T off set. I assumed its shape had been changed to allow more clearance for bigger brake callipers. This put me off buying used rims from a mk3, although IIRC some on this forum said mk3 wheels will fit a mk4.
This doesnt fill me with confidence that even a spacesaver that came from an earlier Jazz will be compatible on a mk4 , at least without a test fitting.
