 Spare wheel? Please can someone tell me if it is possible to use the spare wheel if i have 17"wheels? My dealer said its not poss but im not so sure. How about bigger tyre thickness/tread to make up the difference. I want to be able to change to normal tyres. THANKS. TOP OFF AT LAST. (Everybody be cool, you, be cool.)   |
