MV6 alloys
« on: 28 October 2009, 10:31:43 »
i have the standard 17" MV6 alloys (silver/graphite type) the thing is my spare is a 15" steel 2 things

1, is it normal to have a 15" steel spare ??

2, would it be possible if i got another alloy the same that it would fit in the wheel well.

I would try by jacking the car up and trying it physically but me and my miggy are 150 miles apart at the mo  :'( :'( :'(

15" spare is standard on all Omegas, don't think the 17" will fit in the well but I could be wrong

Yeah for sure 15" spare standard
I know the 17" mv6 alloy fits in the spare well of a saloon and i'm sure they must be the same to a estate.

Its not the diameter, the spare on the estate is in the floor with a hatch over the top, I think it might be a bit wide but as I say I could be wrong ;)

Just to confirm, i have a 5th alloy & it won't fit. The tyre is too wide for the well in the floor, i have a saloon btw. Thats in the garage & the original steel is in the boot

Rare as hens teeth in good nick. They seemed to suffer badly once the surface laquer had got damaged. Also not known for strength, seen that discussed on lots of topics before. So finding a true one will be a gamble, unless its cheap enough to chance.

I think they are 235s on the 17 inch wheels actually.

I had an MV6 from new, got thriugh 6 alloys in 3 years as a company car. Then bought it and put new facelift MV6 alloys - at the time they were less than half the price of the Irmscher ones.

i did think they were 235/45/17 but probably wrong

As said pretty rare in good nick so might be an idea to get one as a spare in case you ever damage one :(.

  235s are normally fitted :y.
