[Wanted] Wanted 1 x Small Steel Wheel with tyre as a spare
I would like the smallest possible wheel for a Land rover 90 as a spare to go inside the rear tub against the bulkhead, and still leave space for the rear seats.

Many thanks

Not sure a very small wheel would work should you every need to change it for an existing fitted wheel and tyre, depending what size wheel and tyres you have fitted if they are standard wheels or similar as the whole geometry of the vehicles ride and track would be altered with a differing size wheel.

I am not sure it would be legal either to fit a smaller wheel and tyre, especially if the change was for a front wheel as the steering would be affected.

Perhaps if space is at a premium you could have Tyron bands fitted to your existing wheels that way if you had a flat you could still drive on the flat until you could get the puncture sorted.

I have a narrow spare wheel on my defender. Its a get you to help spare and insurance where not interested when I told them about it !
As long as the outer diameter is the same as your existing and you drive below 40mph when fitted you will be ok
