[#10221409]

My Zafira tourer has no spare wheel and after a flat which was not fixable with the foam/compressor, i want to buy a space saver spare.

Is it just a case of matching the the bolt pattern and making sure that the wheel/tyre overall is the same size (or near as dammit) as the existing wheel/tyre combo?  A "kit" is about £250 which seems ludicrous!  Seems to be plenty on ebay for different cars for way less.

Scrapyard will be cheaper. Wheel needs to be large enough to accommodate the brakes and some need shorter bolts

Your manual should specify the size of the relevant wheel for your model. Size isn't necessarily a match either, usually just bolt pattern, mount hole and enough offset to clear the brake.
