    Looking for a 17inch alloy or steel rim for a 2015 seat alhambra.this would only be used as a spare wheel.tried alot of breaker's yards for this and no luck.been told i wouldn't get a 17inch steel rim anyway as there not made?? a space saver wheel was suggested too me.have found a 18inch one locally.question is assuming it fits the studs would there be any issue with this one wheel and the rest been on 17inch rims. tires on the car are 225 50 r17.

    I would have thought it'd be simple to find a 17" alloy rim Considering the number of VW/Audis that share the same stud pattern???

    The stud pattern and centre bore are all a common VW size, but the offset is unique to the sharan/Alhambra.

    Scirocco/Eos wheels would be very close as would 02-08 Skoda Superb.

    What car is the space saver off?

    135/80r17 would be better.
