    Perfect . I'll take that as a win. Thankyou. I don't know what the guy from Dept Transport was banging on about then! Cheers

    Yes the spare would simply be a designated spare, but they tell me that putting the spare on the car would result in the vehicle being considered unroadworthy, and there may be insurance implications if the car was involved in an accident whilst the spare was fitted.

    Yes I double checked. The regs - (VSB-14 i think?) specifically say rim size. If it was rolling diameter, we would have been home and hosed

    Just got off the phone from Qld Department of Transport. Thats 30 minutes of my life I won't get back. The regs say, unless the spare is manufacturer supplied space-saver wheel/tyre - which this is not, all rims on the vehicle must be the same diameter. So it looks like I need to source a 15 inch wheel and 195/50R 16 tyre. Any suggestions about what would be my best option to get out of this fairly cheaply? Thanks all

    Thanks for the info Hiro "Advice" came from an engineer from the Auto Club. The tyres on the car are 195/50R15 and the spare is 185/60R14. Would you have the idiots guide to working out the rolling diameter? Thanks again

    Hi Please bear with me, I'm new here. My daughter recently bought a 1995 Paseo as her first car. It's a great little runabout - very zippy, and she loves it. The Paseo came with 4 x 15 inch mags fitted. However the spare is a 14 inch steel wheel. I have been advised that it would be illegal to put the 14 inch spare on the car. Can anyone please advise what would be the best option to resolve this problem, hopefully without having to spend too much money. Appreciate your help folks Cheers Peter
