Title: spare wheel and r32 rears ?
Post by: gillm on May 09, 2010, 08:52:07 pm

just been wondering if the std gti spare fits over r32 rear brakes . its defo not fitting over the 360mm fronts .might be pointless in carrying it ?

what does the r32 come with ? tyre or a can of spray ?

....That's useful to know  :drinking:

Good point to raise, Martin  :drinking:

If I get a puncture on my front axle with AP's I'll have to swoppsy with a rear wheel and then put the spare on the rear - So now I know this can be done and I simply hadn't thought about it before reading this thread.

Musical chairs wheels!
