MG5 Spare wheel kit

[revpeterw]

Just thought I'd dredge up this thread in case anyone else was looking. Have recently bought a Mercedes A Class space saver wheel from eBay for £10, which fits in the spare wheel well in my 2021 LR pre facelift, and I can confirm that the jack/wheel brace/foam and even the towing eye from an MG6 work fine with an MG5, and the foam insert fits within the spare wheel, with the boot floor on its low level. Everything looks like it's a factory fit.
Full foam insert and kit was £30, and I bought some Mercedes wheel bolts for £5, so all in, it's cost me under £50.

Do you happen to remember what size the bolts were - I hear they are shorter than the normal bolts, thanks.

I don't think the length is critical. If they're slightly too long, they'll just protrude through the disc carrier without a problem. The important thing is that they have a radius profile.

Has anyone tried to fit a spare wheel from a Skoda Octavia on a 5?

As far as I know many of the parts in an Octavia are VW Golf so it should fit.
I remember one time parking my Octavia beside a mates Golf and the door cards and switches were identical.
