that you cannot have the spare wheel with 17" wheels. Sounds correct but just want to know for sure.

incorrect. name and shame them for being ignorant!

i have 17" wheels on a Cooper and have a space saver spare wheel. The rolling diameter of the 17" wheel is approx the same as a 15" wheel, therefore there is no reason why one cannot have a space saver.

However if you want a cooper s, you cannot have a spare, as the battery sits in the boot, in the place that would be occupied by the spacesaver.

Wheel size has nothing to do with the ability to have a space saver, however you have to specify it as an extra on a cooper (approx £35) at time of order. Not available on an S
