Hi firstimer and welcome to the forums
If you can't find it I will post a link.
Basically, if you are going for a steel rim spare, it doesn't matter what size rims your present wheels use. ( 17" 18" or 19" )
The steel rim is available from Vauxhall for about £90 ( no tyre )
It is a 16" rim - but don't let this put you off.
Believe it or not the DIAMETER of the three rim sizes ( with appropriate tyres ) are all within about 1/4 inch. This is because the profile ( height at the wall ) is lower on the bigger rims.
The 16" steel rim is a 215 x 16 ( 6.5J ) ...... this must be Antara compatible ( obviously )
The tyre is a 215 x 70 x 16 - you can get this from anywhere.
The steel spare will fit in the well with no alterations to the well itself.
You just need to remove the central polystyrene section. ( I put mine in a skip !! )
If you go for an alloy spare you will find it is too wide and the floor panel will not close.
Hope this helps.
EDIT:
Just noticed .....we are almost neighbours
Found my original thread .....click here
Also ........ if you buy the steel rim from the place where you bought the car from - ask for discount on the rim. I got 10% off. ( worth being cheeky )
