Spare wheel question
My boys football got stuck under the car the other day and looking underneath I noticed I have got a spacesaver wheel which is only for temporary use.
My question is, has anyone swapped this out for a full size spare alloy?
I only ask before I take the plunge as the ones on my car are 225/55/19 and the spacesaver is 175/80/19 so wondering if there is enough space in the well to accommodate it.
I'm guessung there is but hopefully someone can confirm for me?

That is the first 'Extra' I get when ordering a new vehicle, that way works out a lot cheaper than buying an after market one.
There was a single 19" one advertised on the site the other day, if you are lucky it may still be here.

He bought it off someone that nicked it off one that did not have a RLD protector plate on it The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;

Spare wheel protector
I had the displeasure of someone helping themselves to my spare recently.
Now in the process of replacing all the bits, including an RLD to stop it happening again, but was wondering if anyone could suggest an option for the cover? As the Disco has Adblue, the spare alloy has to be face down, and the LR part comes out at over £200. Plus you have to buy the winch on top of that.
I have scoured the internet and cannot find either a cheaper or alternate option.
Thanks in advance.
