hay lads where the best place to get a spare tyre from, I just bought somr 16 inch alloys and only got 4 the spare I have is smaller where can I get a steel 16" from? breakers or somewhere?

You could get a bigger profile tyre for the spare. It would then be the same rolling radius, depending on wheel size and acceptable tyre

ah yer good idea never thought of that. al work it out when I get these fitted for what size I should get.

the 14 inch wheels with the 65 prfofile (think thats what they are or maybe 60's) is same radius as the 16 inch wheel with the 45 profile as i put my fr wheels agains my old 1.2 14 inch alloys and nothing in it really only mm's

Sounds about right I think. I know my old corsa was 195/45/16 but had a 185/55/15 as a spare. It will get you home though i'd imagine
