Technical Characteristics of the Rim

The spare wheel is based on a rim with a diameter selected to match the standard dimensions used in Seat Exeo and VW Passat models. The rim's design has a width optimized for a tire of the indicated size, which promotes stable vehicle handling.

Parameters such as offset (ET), bolt circle diameter, and number of mounting holes have been factory-matched to typical hubs used in Volkswagen Group cars. This ensures the rim sits correctly on the hub, loads are transferred properly, and suspension geometry is maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.

Michelin 205/55 Tire – Fitment and Spare Function

The wheel is equipped with a Michelin tire with a width and profile matched to the rim diameter, allowing for an appropriate contact patch with the road surface. This combination provides:

• predictable vehicle behavior in an emergency situation when using the spare wheel,
• straight-line stability at typical operating speeds,
• size consistency with popular wheel configurations used in mid-size cars.

The tire size has been selected to minimize differences in outer diameter compared to the regular wheels, which is important for the operation of ABS and traction control systems.

Intended for Seat Exeo and VW Passat

The R16 spare wheel with a Michelin 205/55 tire has been designed for use in Seat Exeo and Volkswagen Passat models that utilize rims with similar mounting parameters. The correct bolt pattern and number of mounting holes, as well as the matched offset, facilitate installation in roadside conditions without the need for spacers or hub modifications.

A spare wheel configured in this way will serve as a complementary element to the factory wheel set, increasing vehicle safety and comfort during longer journeys.
