Spacesaver wheel/tyre size for Ds3

[ey_tony]

Hi guys, I've recently purchased a used 2017 DS3 with 16" wheels but it doesn't have a spare wheel and instead comes with the tyre-repair inflator kit.
Personally I'd prefer a spare wheel for convenience so I'd like to pick the brains of you guys to let me know the exact wheel/tyre size I should be looking for.
Thanks in advance.

It might be on the tyre pressure sticker on one of the door pillars

Might not be as simple as you hope. You need a wheel that will fit the car and fit in the boot, quite a lot of cars have limited wheel well space/depth designed for a space saver tyre. You will also need jack and wheel brace if they are not there already.

If you are looking for a space saver try some of the websites like spare wheel city, there are lots, and check out the details for your model on a few of them. Based on most Citroen C3 and 4, but not Picasso, chances are it’s 4 stud, 65.1 centre bore and 108 mm stud centres but check and check again if you are ordering something.

Diameter and profile may be different, space savers often have a different rim size, narrower tyres and higher profile, what matters is the rolling diameter.

If you try for full size the studs etc are still important but so too is the offset, different manufacturers take different approaches. Your current tyre markings will be a good starting point for size, e.g 185/55 16 tells you it’s 16 diameter, 185 tyre width, 55 profile. A 185 tyre probably means it’s a 6.5 inch rim but not necessarily.

I see you have other Citroens. Have or had? If the former can you try the spare from one of those in the wheel well of your DS3.
