Wheel Specification

[KlinkPC]

I have definitely read that the wheels from an ICE MG Zs and the EV are different....but I have not actually tried them.

This is what I bought:-

MG ZS EV Spare wheel kit brand new Genuine with tools 10340567 | eBay

This is a kit for the spare wheel in the MG ZS EV. this kit simply replaces the foam unit under the boot floor.

Its sits in the back of my car and looks the part....but I have not actually tried if it does ft.View attachment 960View attachment 961

Thanks Chris, I asked that ebay sender how much extra it would be posted to Australia. This was his reply:

Hello the courier cost will be between £185.00 and £255.00 THIS IS PLUS THE COST OF THE WHEEL​

Check this site. The wheel style is specific to the EV but the pcd appears to be the same. This guide covers all major makes so in theory you could try a wheel listed for another vehicle with the same details and purchase from a salvage yard and save money.

Thanks Marcad, but now I'm really confused. The site you referred to says PCD is 5 x 105 but the previous site says 5 x 112. My problem in Australia is that the local dealer searches by VIN number. Of course, the car here being so new, the search comes up with no result.

That's interesting, I am sure that somebody on here will know, I will keep an eye on this thread.

Good to see a clear picture of the MG supplied jack from Chris. I bought my spacesaver as a standalone item from ebay and then spent hours deciding as to which was the best 2 ton rated scissor jack to buy (and then probably got the wrong one as I find it hard to crank up!)

I know, the EV pcd is 5 x 112, so your initial stats. are correct. The Petrol is the 105 figure.

If buying used, some VW spare wheel fitments are exactly the same, at 5 x 112, 17" with the same centre bore. I can't recall what the tyre profile on the spare is, but I think the new beetle has the same tyre profile as the MG.

The only thing to be aware of if you use a VW wheel, is you will need to carry a set of the VW bolts, as they use a curved rather than flat taper.

You can get a very small compact trolly jack that would probably be easier to use...but they do take up more space.

Anyone got one of those electric jacks that work off the 12v power socket ?
I was wondering how good they are.

There is a surprising amount of room under the boot floor; when I first got the spacesaver I did indeed carry my trolley jack around. However the scissor jack is lighter and easier to strap down in position.

Luckily my last few (slow) punctures have hung on till I got home and then went flat overnight!

@Kithmo I bought one years ago and found it practical for wheel changing but rarely used these days. in fact I have just looked in my garage to see if it is still there and not 'on loan' to my son!
It it quite a heavy item (in a case) to carry around in your boot for occasional use.

Thanks, I was considering buying one a while ago but, like you say, for the number of times it would get used I didn't think it was worth spending £50 or so on one.

I'm in Australia and having trouble sourcing a spare wheel for my car. After searching various links including

2019 MG ZS - Wheel & Tire Sizes, PCD, Offset and Rims specs

Wheel size, PCD, offset, and other specifications such as bolt pattern, thread size (THD), center bore (CB), trim levels for 2019 MG ZS. Wheel and tire fitment data. Original equipment and alternative options.

www.wheel-size.com

they all seem to show no difference between the ZS ICE models and the EV. All seem to be 17x7 ET41 5x112
Can anyone enlighten me please?

Hi there! I'm in Australia too. Did you get to the bottom of your question about the spare wheel and the supposed difference between the EV and ice models. I'm finding the same confusing info and lack of help from dealers in this question. I want a spacesaver spare. Thanks!

This is the correct option, it contains all you need.

Others have found cheaper options..."you pays your money and makes your choice."

Unfortunately the shipping via eBay from that seller is so expensive it rules it out as an option. Just buy a full size rim from your MG dealer. It fits perfectly well in the boot.

Yes I agree. I'd be happy to pay $400+ here, but our dealers seem to be disinterested. It's just insurance as far as I'm concerned, particularly if driving on our rural roads.

Why not try a breakers to get a newly new spare as it is only for your own insurance purpose. The PCD is 112.

Go along to a friendly one and try different ones

Thanks. A friendly car wrecker (breaker), that's funny! Do you know what the PCD of the ice ZS is? Can the wheel be slightly modified to fit ZS EV?

Ice ZS PCD is 110, don't think it could be modified.
The space saver wheel off a Seat Leon fits perfectly, I picked one up from the breakers for £25, never been on the road. I believe other VW Group wheels also fit the ZS EV.

Miles has fitted some bigger wheels to his Mrs Car

Bigger wheels, wider tyres, boy racer 4 life 😂

Hi all, Thought I could share a couple of photos of my (wife's) MG ZS EV, which has been lightly modified (initially by @shikoku14 ) with tints all round, and now by myself with the addition of some new wheels and tyres. The original wheel specifications from MG are 17" X 7", ET41, with...

I fitted 2nd hand Audi wheels with wintertires to my Zs Ev . They are a perfect match.
