135/80 x14 spare wheel

[JohnWB]

I have just got what is supposed to be a MINI spare wheel 135/80 x14 with a Pirelli Spare Tyre on it. I came out of the boot of a mini but I always thought that the mini spare wheel was 115/70 x 15. Has anyone tried a 14 inch wheel on a mini, as a spare, or would it catch on the brakes etc. I haven't tried it on yet but the pcd looks to be about 98mm rather than the 100 for a mini but that could just be my measurements. As its only going to be used in an emergency would it be OK do you think.

You won't know if it fits until you try it

What good will knowing if someone else has run a 14" spare do you if you're unsure that the PCD on yours is correct

I really don't think a 14" wheel will clear the brakes.
