Spare wheels for my wagon

[pete62]

I've looked on the search function and can't find anything to do with c5 rs6's and spare wheels although I'm sure it must be there somewhere.
What is the correct wheel specification to match the original 19 " alloys fitted to a 2003 rs6 saloon . I don't mean the tyre size but all that other stuff like offset ,stud pattern or whatever that you need to know to see if the wheels will fit.
There are loads of 'rs6 alloys ' for sale but a lot seem to be aimed at VW's and the like and I don't want to buy something that doesn't fit.
Also has anyone sourced a suitable steel wheel to fit that would do as a spare tyre . I don't want a space saver it needs to be able to do the full job until I could get a repair
Thanks

19 * 9" ET35 PCD112 from memory.

If I was looking to source a spare wheel I would get the smallest one that would fit the rear wheels. That way if you get a puncture at the front you can put one of the rears on the front and the spare on the rear. Space saver would be ideal, IMO, if it fits.

You would not believe how much space one full size wheel takes up inside the car.

Thanks
I know what you mean about the space they take up I have to carry one in the bag of my X3 when I go abroad and it's a pain. At least the x3 is on run flats though, the thought of getting a puncture just into France on a bank holiday with 700 miles there and back to do on a spaces saver is enough to make me want a full size one.
Also you can't fit snow chains etc on a space saver

get a space saver or carry a spare tyre

Any idea how much a space saver would be?

I've done some digging on space savers here. Can't find much more than this thread.

I need to take a wheel off my car and leave it in the open/public/homeless guy hangout for a few weeks. I don't fancy leaving it on a jack out there.

Anyone think of a better option, or reason why I shouldn't but this:

You *might* get that on the rear. Be surprised if you could get it over the front calipers though. Suppose you could put a rear wheel on the front and that on the rear if it fits.

I used to carry a full size spare wheel. Took up too much space and after a year I never used it.
Now I carry a puncture repair kit, air compressor, jack and tools to remove repair and re install the wheel.
Haven’t had to use them on mine. But I have helped a few other people out.

Original Tyre size as shoppinit says above.
However the front wheels on mine were almost touching the calipers.
I have phaeton 8 pot calipers.
Bought a set of Le Mans alloys. Took the opportunity to
change my rims to 19x9 et29 instead of et35

I now have approximately 6mm clearance between rim and front calipers

I also had TPMS re installed for peace of mind.
Also renewed my AA cover.

I also have new TPMS and the Dutch AA.
I ended up with a fifth OZ rim as Eurostar damaged one. Takes up so much space though.
For now this is just to have the car sat on wheel whie I have two of the five rims sprayed.
I did wonder about having a space saver in the back if I go on a trip. Just to get me to a tire Shop.

I do have some hubcentric spacers. I guess that would fix the clearance issue?

Only way to know for sure it to get the space saver and try it.
