I've been trying to find a set of steel rims for my car, but can't seem to find any used. There are, however, a ton of space-saver wheel/tires available. Can I mount "regular" tires on the space-saver wheel and roll with them?

Hi Danny, I posted some of those on the classified section. Let me know.

I wouldn't use the space-saver... the rim is narrower stock ? at least most of the time......Phil

buyer beware.

those space savers get bent up in crashes and if you find a pile of them to purchase they may be stock piled from ol' fender benders.

The bug guys run 'em with 135 x 13 tires on 'em, and that's about the widest you can go. But then, those guys don't give a sh*t about safety, only the "image". I'd avoid 'em like the plague. Besides, I doubt they're available in the 4 lug configuration used in the /4s. The Cap'n

PM sent. Thanks.

I think you should put on two- one front left and one rear right. Just think of the thrills! And maybe it will increase gas mileage. Most of the time only two or three tires would be on the ground!

EDIT: I'm not makin' fun of you, it was just a crazy image that formed in my head...

I have a set of 4 steel wheels with tires available - I'll let them go for a reasonable market rate plus shipping - How much shipping would be depends on what you call the "southwest" -

Best -

You might want to re-read my post. I'm not contemplating running space-saver tires, but running standard tires on space-saver wheels. These wheels appear to be similar to a standard steel wheel and, in fact, may be one in the same.

I have a perfect 5 lug 15” that I put my Fuch on for my spare if you want it. It is very heavy. West LA

Thanks, but I need 4-lug wheels. When I do the 5-lug conversion I'll be switching to Fuchs.
