Then remove the rear wheel and replace with the space saver, then you can lower the jack a bit (for the rear tyre to sit back on the ground) and then fit the rear on the front.

Or buy an 18" alloy spare off eBay for £50 delivered!

I saw a Honda a few weeks ago in Holywood (Northern Ireland) with what looked like 4 spacesaver wheels painted pink on it. Some people must like them!! Mental
