Hi Ppl

Just checking my spare I realised I have 18 inch alloys and a 16" steel spare :cry:  will this work if I need to use it ?

Cheers

Jim-Willy:
Not unless the 16" has a taller tyre so the wheel is the same rolling radius.

HotShot:
Like he said.
Measure the diameter of both across the centre of the wheels [tread to tread]
If they are the same [give 1/2 inch or so] then yes.
If there is a greater difference, then no.

yanto2003:
The size of tyres are 235/70T16 on the spare and 255/55H18 on the alloys.

HotShot:
In that case YES you will be fine.
Only a 1/4 inch difference in overall circumference.
