RX series 3 space saver

[VFR]

Unfortunately I needed to pull this out from its cosy nest in the boot today (as a result of a moments stupid inattention) offered it up and had a double take on the wheel nut fit as it not the same as the wheel.

IE the integral washer that is part of the wheel nut when fitted to the alloy is quite some distance away from the steel rim of the s/saver so plays no part in this case.

Yes the bevel on the end of the nut seems to seat onto the location area of the steel rim but looked odd but did tighten, checked tightness again after a few miles and all good so got me home.

Everything is OE and was clearly just how it had come out of the dealer when new inc plastic bag for the dirty road wheel.

Never used a space saver before so does this sound correct (assuming I have made sense) to anyone used to these things.

Thanks for you quick reply as this is exactly what I was trying to say & it is all good then.

Will spend the next day or so studying what to buy (pair) and the Hankook K127A Ventus S1 EVO 3 has caught my eye.

Very useful to know thanks.

Lucky for me my LS600hl has a full size spare tyre.

My other car had a tyre repair kit  so bought an original space saver,which I had to use once. The only issue is max 50mph, so all the ??? Lorry drivers come behind you and want you to go faster. Idiots!!
