Spare wheel

[Gregs24]

I sent them an email to ask just that for my DH. They replied asking for tyre sizes which I duly sent.
Will post back their response.

This is really important - the wheel and tyre size are irrelevant!

S550 and S650 both have 19" wheels and the same tyre size but the Brembo brakes are bigger on the S650 and the 2015-2023 spare wheel will NOT fit over the S650 brakes without a 20mm+ spacer ideally 25mm.

The S650 kit has a different wheel with greater offset to clear the brakes.

Is the spacer just needed if the spare is going on the front? I bought the wheel from America and it came with the spacer but I just stashed it all in the boot without taking much note of the instructions.

I'm not sure as I have not tried it. The S650 has Brembo's on the rear too, but smaller, so it may be OK without the spacer.

It is the rear of wheel spoke design that is the problem. The callipers stick out more at the periphery near the rim. The wheels look like they will fit OK but all you will do is chip some paint off your callipers if you try!

That link is to the 2015 - 2023 cars. It will not fit without a spacer on an S650

I have one of those in my boot. Have been meaning to do a trial fit at some point to make sure it works but in 9 months I haven't gotten around to it yet. I got it from America shipping/ tax was reasonable even if the carrier charged the vat in £ on a price in $

Hi all

Have any of your purchased a spare wheel in the UK? If so where from? Experience of using?

This seems reasonable....

I got my spare wheel from ROAD HERO it fitted in the boot space just perfect, came as a kit, jack & brace in kit bag, not cheap but to me it gets me back on the road in 20 minutes

Have you trial fitted it to the front wheel yet?

Be very careful as S550 spares will NOT fit an S650 without a spacer. Road Hero don't seem to make an S650 spare? You may be lucky with their wheel design clearing the brakes but you may not.

This spare wheel fits the S650 with the Brembo 6 pot calipers on the front, when delivered, first thing was to trail fit it, fitted perfect as i was told by the company, it was a black alloy wheel, with sip up cover, came with lug nuts as well in pouch bag.

My only concern with the road hero spare wheel is that the last time i checked with them only comes with a 125 70 x 19 tyre which is 46mm less in diameter than the 275 40 x 19 on the rear which would not be great for the rear diff if you're having to drive far .

The automotive authority spare wheel has a 155 70 x 19 tyre which is within 5mm of the 275 40 x 19 on the rear.
