Quick Spare Wheel Question


Recommended Posts

Hi guys - might be a newbie question but a friend of mine is looking for a spare wheel as he doesn't have one in his car. The tyre place told him that the PCD is 4x108 (first time i've heard of that PCD also :P). I'm searching for spare tyre/wheel combos online and I can't seem to find any in that PCD. Most of them don't mention the stud pattern, just say 4 stud or 5 stud.

Do i specifically need to get a 4x108 or can I just get any 4 stud wheel? I have a feeling it has to be the specific one, if so - any ideas what a good place to get one would be? Tyre place said they don't have one.

Thanks for your help :)

ok so turns out its a ford fiesta 2010 (its a 19 yo chick, don't ask me why she said Toyota first) lol. Now according to the dealers, these cars don't actually come with a spare wheel! They're asking for $500 for a spare wheel and a jack lol.

The PCD is 108, i've Googled :) ... so now do I specifically need to get a 4x108 wheel? (again, sorry if this is a stupid question)

Thanks again

    • Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.
    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
