  • QLD WTB Spare wheel for a MKIV R32

    Hey guys,

    Unfortunately the area i have been forced to move to for work is quite remote and if i get a flat will be forced to leave my car in the middle of no where.

    So i'm just looking for a cheap spare wheel that will fit a MKIV R32 incase of emergencies.
    The specs for the wheel are:
    18 x 7.5
    et38 offset
    5 x 100 stud pattern

    Would prefer just one wheel if possible but will buy a pair or a set if i have to as long as it is cheap enough.

    Contact via PM would be great.

    The MKIV R32 was not supplied with a spare wheel (nor even a jack in Australia!). The Audi S3 Quattro and Audi TT were supplied with a 3 1/2" x 18" spacesaver rim with a 125/70-18 tyre which will fit into the available wheel well space in your MK4 R32. The only downside is that the rim will not fit over the front brakes of your R32. Any flat tyre on the front will entail putting the space saver on the back and moving the good rim and tyre to the front to replace the damaged one.

    You can also install the Audi S3 foam tool kit inside the spare wheel as well for those more needed emergencies.

    These are the part numbers for the Audi S3 Toolkit, cover and securing screw:

    8L3 012 109 F Audi S3 quattro Foam Tool Box

    8L3 012 116 Audi S3 Wheel cover piece

    8L0 803 899 D Audi S3 securing screw for spare wheel. The existing screw that holds the standard breakdown kit will not fit.

    These are the part numbers for the Audi TT quattro Foam Triangles:

    8N0 012 109 E Audi TT quattro Foam Triangle (left)

    8N0 012 109 N Audi TT quattro Foam Triangle (right)

    These Foam Triangles appear to be a US-market only item.

      Thanks for the reply mate. I now have a jack ready in my car, was just looking for a spare wheel. I was thinking about the space saver option but would feel a lot more comfortable driving on a four wheels of the same size. Was just going to throw in the boot.
