Installed spare tire for 2018 essence today

[robdre]

I just done this with my Sportback. Photos to come. It's a snug fit but everything fits under the rear floor nicely.

Where were you able to obtain a suitable sized spare in NZ. What model did it come from?.
Here in Oz I cannot find that rim or tyre size

I got lucky. Someone locally was selling a few ZB 17" spacer saver spares. I have no idea where they came from. All the police vehicles are fitted out to police spec by a business near here and I wondered if these were surplus from there.

The Equinox uses the same spare I believe. I can give you the rim and tyre specs if you need them (I think they're listed earlier in this thread or here in this thread Spare Tire) and you might be able to find another rim that fits.

Thanks for that, I will try that and see how I go.

This is the solution that I am looking for. I own a TourX and live in Germany. I assume that there are similar parts for Insignia models over here.

I would expect they're available for the European models (Opel, Vauxhall).
