The 16 " wheels on the Corsa are 195/45/16

However I've just noticed that the spare is 185/55/15.

Is this safe to use on the front or rear in the event of a puncture as the axle would be running two different sized wheels?

Not bothered about the width but I'm guessing the bigger profile makes up for the fact that it's a 15" wheel?

Thanks

If you get a flat on the front then dont put the 15" on the front. Put one of the back wheels on the front and the spare on the back cos I think that it will fuck the driveshafts if you put 2 different size wheels on the front.
I had a puncture the other day so had 2 17s on the front and one 17 and one 14 on the back without a problem to get me to a tyre place. When I put the 14 next to the 17 it was the same overall size cos of the tyre wall
