vito 115 with alloys spare wheel question

[sparkydude]

Hi all, Had the alloys fitted to the van yesterday , but have just had a thought, what do i do for a spare wheel now??, The van is a LWB so has a standard steel spare wheel. Obviously this would be a 16 inch wheel. What sort of spare wheel does a LWB van with alloys have if its supplied from the factory ??
Have seen a space saver 17 wheel on ebay and wondered if this is what it would be supplied with ??

Any help appreciated

Have replied by email - my Vito Long with factory 17" alloys has a 16" steel spare.

The diameter of the wheel doesn't matter so long as the rolling radius (of the wheel and tyre combination) is the same. My SL with 18" wheels also has a 16" spare (albeit an alloy one).

Don't forget to keep a set of bolts in the tool kit for the steel wheel.
I don't have a spare at all in my compact, just a pump and tyre weld.
