GR Yaris Space saver spare wheel

[AK10TOY]

Don't suppose anyone's bought one of these and can confirm it fits? Would've got a road hero but don't need a full kit only a wheel as have a jack and tools already.

17" leaves me sceptical it'll fit over the brake discs

I guess you can use it at the rear but not at the front I think.
You would have to swap back to front wheels and install at the rear if you get a puncture at front .

Absolutely right. There was a thread on the other forum about the I seem to recall and that was the only way it worked.

I put my own kit together

GR Yaris - Spare / space saver wheel

After much hunting around, I've sourced a 17" space saver wheel from an Avensis with the correct PCD & centre bore to match the GR (which fits over the brakes on the rear perfectly). Be aware that not all Avensis 17" wheels are the same & some that have a PCD 5x100 (which won't fit) & are...

Old thread I know, but you say you had a Road Hero & wanted to swap to this, what was the issue with the RoadHero? I'm looking at one for the misses's car but ideally want it to fit front & rear

I never had a road hero I just said I wouldve bought it as it came with a jack, breaker bar ect if I remember correctly, but I already had a jack and breaker bar in the car from my previous vehicle so was wondering about 'thewheelshop' spare wheel which was only the wheel.

the guys above said it fits but likely only over the rear brakes so for a front puncture you have to swap the rear to the front and put the space saver on the rear

in the end I actually ended up just getting a full size spare enkei from the standard/con pack with tyre and TPMS from a breaker on ebay for £150, I never use the rear seats so it just lives in the back in a wheel bag, can put the seat behind the passenger up if I ever have to take another person but think I've only done that once in 3 years, we take the GFs car if we need more space

Not perfect in accident conditions, that wheel will fly around the cab.

Hi, I hope this is ok commenting on an older post?? I saw @AK10TOY has opted to go for a full size spare!? I have gone the same route and just wanted to get some feedback on fastening the full size spare into the back of the car safely? I went for a drive yesterday with it strapped down behind the drivers seat but it still moved which I defiantly don't want! Plus its just extra weight in a addition to the driver (I'm not the smallest) over one side of the car so wanted to get the weight more central and very secure.

I'd planned to having 2 straps around the front seat base rails up and over the wheel/tyre attached to a ratchet strap tightened to the metal loop on the boot fastener creating a large Y shape.I've just rigged this up and it seems ok, it could probably be better if I used one of those short wheel tie down straps to get the front straps wider around the front edges of the tyre?

Has anybody got a better way of doing this please? Cheers

As I never use the rear seats mines permanently behind the passenger seat, wedged in, jack underneath, seems to work and adds 15kg to that side instead!!

Do you deflate the tyre? when I've tried it that the tyre pushes against the central trim

No seems nicely wedged, just maybe put something under it so doesn't pivot at all, if the passenger seat isn't up against it anyway.

sorry I didn't find the time to reply sooner, the wheel bag I have is a cheapo thing off ebay but it fits snug to the wheel and has 4 bits of velcro on the underside and suprisingly keeps it from moving during some 'spirited' driving

however not ideal just relying on that in case of an accident so I also use a ratchet strap to secure it with both rear seats down using the top tether points for the child seat to secure it further, the plan is eventually to do a rear seat delete and it'll be easier to strap to the strut bar then.

Thank you chaps, @AK10TOY & @RichP, Very much appreciated.

Great feedback for the block under the tyre when behind the passenger seat, and with the seats down, I'd forgotten about the tether points to secure the wheel further! I will have a play around with this over the next couple of weeks.

Thanks again, and have a great summer of driving

Cheers
