Just one thing tyre size on the 22 inch will be the deciding factor, my 20 inch wheel with the Coopers I'm running won't fit. M16 SVD8 ,4.4 HSE with a few extras, Sold R50 , Wife SQ5 , BMW R1200GSW. |

Remember the SVR 22 wheels with the summer tyres are wider. |

My 14 plate 494 had a 22 inch spare fitted.... you need the nylon strap winch though to be able to lift it out of the footwell which fits over the rear roof gutter... you can’t get your hands around the side of the tyre to grip it properly otherwise...

The 295 section SVR 22" doesn't fit under the boot floor, hence us not offering anything other than a space saver or a tyre repair kit. |

Appreciate the heads up. I'm sure a space saver will do me fine. Cheers |

Remember that there are 3 types of spare - full size, reduced section and space saver - I would say a space saver is the most useless as it speed limits you to 50mph and 50 miles use, a reduced section doesn’t have such a great reduction in use. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Sorry, it is a reduced section as an option.

So it seems even a simple question is not straight forward

Anyone know the part number for the reduced section spare by chance? |

The 21" SVR wheel is the same size as the standard car. The 22" 10J isn't, hence being too wide to fit. Difference in diameter is 14mm (1.79%) |

Ah ha, so I'd get away with a 21" SVR wheel? Struggled to find a reduced section spare wheel for sale anywhere! |
