It turned out to be a total pain in the ass because I had no jack or anything so I'm thinking of carrying a spare wheel and jack for long journeys only, in the future.

Have any of you done this? Will a rear wheel fit on the front with out spacers or clearance issues?

what about carrying a regular M3 19' wheel. I don't want to fork out for a genuine CSL wheel that may never see the light of day so a scruffy spare would probably do. I have AP's if that makes a difference.

your thoughts?

i occassionally carry a spare but no jack when taking road trips (ill rely on othrs or AA for the jack i think)

most 18s and 19s fit ok, juts make sure you get one with offset that fits front and back axles.
