Looks like a 16" wheel 175 60 R16 . My car came with a tin of sticky stuff in a can in the boot. I was foolish enough to use it and ****** up the tyre. still haven't bought a spare wheel

I always get a spare wheel for my cars, dont trust that bubble gum stuff. If the sidewall of the tyre is damaged its no good.

I found out the hard way on the side of the M6 heading for Castle Douglas beginning of July. The whole thing waited over 2 hours for rescue then paid out £ 155 for new tyre . Arrived at the site 6pm the overall journey should of taken a couple of ours instead over 4 hours late. Looking for that spare now. Thanks for the reminder.

I just used a space saver spare wheel specialist. Input the cars details and the gave prices for space saver or full size steel. Could add jack and wheel brace to the order. Did it o two Kia’s and the spare supplied fitted fine. And located properly in the wheel space under the boot floor.

Have done that in the past, but on the bay of plenty i can get alloy wheel with tyre for about 100 sheets.

Having AWD needed a full size in the Kuga which fitted the well, but raised the floor with 50 mm polystyrene Got an Alloy so matches and can be used permanent. Wife’s Fiesta got a steel slimy and jack from the Wheel Warehouse. Once using Gunge tyre and pressure sensor need replacing, so cheaper in long term buying spare .

Did not realise you were after a full size alloy. Surprised Ignis has a wheel well to take a full size wheel. Impressive.
