Hi all,

First timer here hoping for some intelligent help as my local Ford dealership don't seem to have anyone who will give me a definitive answer.

My son unfortunately damaged the wheel rim on his new 2013 new shape Fiesta (Is this a Mk8? I've lost count). As you probably know, no longer do Ford issue a spare wheel and as the supplied compressor and gunk did not work we had to get a recovery wagon to get him and the car home.

Ford were happy to sell me a new wheel and tyre but were unable to tell me what spacesaver wheel I could or should buy to ensure this doesn't happen again.

I can buy a 195/50/15" spacesaver locally from a private seller but need to know if this can be safely mounted and used on the car. It has manufacturer supplied 6J. 15" wheels with a 47.5 offset fitted with 195/55/R15" 85H Bridgestone Tyres.

Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks !!!
