Hi,
I have a RRS 2017 model that came with the space saver spare wheel.. I have purchased a full size 21 inch wheel as I do long distances and want a "proper" spare, however when I've tried to put it in the spare wheel housing in the boot it doesn't sit flush... is there something I can do to make it sit flush
thanks Keith

A 21" should fit as I have a 22" in mine,,is their something under the space saver that's stopping if fitting to the bottom of the well.? Andy.

Hi thanks for the reply, and yes there’s a small dome shaped insert there but I cannot see how it removes, I’ll maybe have to ask my local RR garage

Regards
Keith

The small dome thing is the compressor for the air suspension,,the spare sits over it. Andy.

Ok thanks in that case I can’t see anything that’s obstructing it, the 21 inch extends out around 2 inches above the well in the boot.. I’ll take a couple of pics shortly and add them to this thread
Thanks
Keith

This is a pic of mine

I think you need to post up some comparison measurements like wheel width of new wheel, width of space saver, depth of well for spare etc. Did the spacesaver sit flush with the floor? If it did then I’d say it was a space saver for that reason. In other cars if you have a full size wheel, there are packing pieces to raise the level of the floor to match that of the wheel. That obviously won’t work on a vehicle like the RRS but that’s how other manufacturers do it. 2012 5.0 SC AB

Thanks Andy.. just realiesd that I had not removed the polystyrene liner

Thanks for the help.

I think you may find there are two different liners listed one for space saver spare and one for full size spare as they act as a insulator.
