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

Please can you advise EXACTLY what size winter tyres you have please. Thanks

Yes ofcourse. I bought 16" wheels and tyres because it saved me a lot of money. I saw the wheels have a 35mm offset, not 40mm (which is the MG ZS EV ET size)
The tires are Michelin Alpine
205/60 R16

If I have to guess A3. I didn't ask since I really don't care, so I don't know. I bought them at the same tyre specialist, together with the tyres and the tpms tyre pressure things ofcourse. They looked in the car computer to what the specific codes of the 4 the original tpms valves were and copied the codes to the new ones. It works flawless.

ICE and EV do have different fittings. The EV fitting is the same as wheels found on recent VW group vehicles.

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.

Dodger, I was just about to ask if there was another vehicle option that fits. How does the Seat one compare size wise (ie I know it will fit the hub from what you’ve said but is it similar height wise as the ZS EV wheel)

Can you advise if this is the same as the one you picked up Amazon product ASIN B0727RNCQ5

I found this space saver from auto recycler. It's from a VW Golf GTi. I did a trial fit and everything lined up; same PCD (112mm) Bolt Pattern and Central Bore (57.1mm). The tyre fitted to the 18" rim is a 125 70 R18. which is the closest matching Dia/Radius to the standard tyres. I get most of the accessories under the lower floor including the spare, T2-T2 cable, bottle jack (bubble wrapped), extendable wheel brace, warning triangle, tow bolt and 12 volt lithium jump starter. I have since replaced the central plastic hold-down thingy (shown) with a hex head bolt and flat Aluminum cross bar with center hole drilled so that the cable can slide-out more easily.

It's exactly the same height and size as the OEM MG Space Saver wheel.

I can't read the tyre size in your photo. It seems to me that the tyre size is the best way to decide if the diameter is correct. Is it a T125/80 R17? Perhaps a T125/70 R18?

I purchased the spare wheel kit from the supplying MG garage for about £100. It replaces all the useless stuff it comes with as standard and all fits well. Only problem is what to do with the useless stuff!

You got a bargain there, the normal price is around a rip off price of £225 at the dealers.
I managed to fit all the kit in the boot with the spare at the bottom, then the gunge kit on top, turned 180 degrees and the jack and wheel brace fits nicely in the square hole in the gunge kit foam.
This means the boot floor has to go on the second level (top).

Micky thanks. I had a look but can't find an MG ZS EV one and can't determine if another vehicle one will do. I've emailed the wheel shop to see if they can advise

Tyre size, T125/70R16.

Thanks. That seems to be the correct wheel size, but the tyre is 20% lower profile than the T125/90 R16 that is written on my VIN sticker. So the tyre would be about 50mm smaller diameter than recommended.

How does the space saver tyre size compare with your full size tyres?

 

[Coulomb]

aussiepete try this £124

Maybe because we are in Australia, that link (a search) produces no results for me.

I also tried using a VPN from the UK; same results. I tried adding the seller as a favourite (clicked on the ♥ icon), same result. Can you get the URL for the destination page (rather than a search URL), please? It's strange.

Micky, I can see the ZS EV one now, however as the bargain hunter I am I wonder if there’s another make/model that has the same wheel/tyre size which could mean a lower price? For example I’ve seen VW Golf mentioned in the thread and I expect that others might be a match also

hi aussiepete i think there are other cars out there that use the same wheel dimensions as the mg does any breaker yards near you .
