Default Spare Wheel 535d touring

Hi there

I am going to start commuting soon and so want to get a spare wheel for the car - have seen the standard space savers on ebay with jack etc that fit in the boot etc

Question - do these fit over the larger front brakes on the 535d?

Thanks

James

You shouldn't be driving with the space saver on the front, than you need to use your rear wheel in front and the space saver on the back, which is not working also as meny of us using the wider rear.
And you can't drive more than 50mph.
I got 17" wheel from scrapyard and low profile tyre and it fitt the space in the boot.
Not sure about the tyre size as i got it for about three years now.

It happened to me than I had puncture during the night on one of my europian trip and i was driving about 6 hours on space saver.
Thanks never again.
