I got a puncture today and my Mk1 doesn't appear to have a spare of any kind
I do however have a spare 13" Micra wheel - I know the PCD is the same and the centre bore will work, but will it go over my brakes? Anyone tried something similar?
Just until I can get it fixed.

1.6 or 1.8?
1,6 has tiny piss-weak brakes that may just be suitable for a base spec micra, so you may get away with it.
1.8 annoyingly. It is on the rear that I have the puncture though.

I can't remember how big the rers are - IIRC they're reasonably sized aren't they? Tyre weld? Even if it wrecks the tyre it's practically the same cost to get as puncture fixed as to buy a new 195/55/15 isn't it?
Hmmm. Apparently the front discs on the Micra are 234mm () and the rears on the Mazda are 250mm - place your bets now
And it's 185/60/14 on my Mk1

Can you not just try it and see if it fits? A couple of days earlier and I'd have offered the loan of some almera wheels
I'm going to try it later, at my folks ATM.

13s do fit over the 1.8 breaks, big thread about it over on nutz
Some 13s might, but I can now tell you that a 13" steel wheel from a K11 Micra definitely doesn'tOriginally Posted by zornyan

I've got 2 mk1 spares I think, somewhere...
Neither will fit mine due to my mk2.5 brakes - you are welcome to one of them if you want it Pete? (or two for comedy trolley wheel antics)
yeah the time it took to post this and wait for an answer you could of just tried it on .....
That would be awesome mate, yes please!I've got 2 mk1 spares I think, somewhere...

I could have, aside from the fact that I was nowhere near the car or the wheel at the time I posted
