Wheels and spare wheel
Im wondering if i have the correct size spare wheel its size is 175/80r 19. And the alloys that are on the disco are 255/60r18. Can any one confirm this spare wheel is correct size as dont want to damage any thing running the wrong size if i ever need to use it
Any info would be appreciated cheers

Yep, that's exactly right.
It's not a bad idea to swap it for a 'proper wheel and tyre though. These cars are heavy, and although the space saver was designed for the job, you might feel happier with a real tyre on if you ever need it on a motorway for example.
If you decided to change your wheels up to 19"s , you could keep an 18" as a spare, the rolling radius is the same as the 255/55 19.Richard

Just to confirm, the 19 you have is a space saver, so it’s speed limited as well (50mph if I recall)
