(1/6) > >>

stretchy:

alrite guys

just wondering if its ok or not to use a diferent size spare to the other 4. say 235.70.16 then run a spare wheel 235.85.16 or vice versa odviosly only to get home, garage etc

THONG BOY:
i think leagaly the spar wheel has to be the same diamiter as the others
ie you could have 235 85s  but a 750 16 spare

dxmedia:
If you've a centre diff then really you need both axles to have the same size tyre on. If you've not got a centre diff, then put the odd size tyre on the front (2wd) and nurse it home. The front diff / unlocked hubs will let the smaller wheel work.

Nurse home though - you'll probably be the other side of the law.

I was thinking it may cause damage but wasent sure if the diff would compensate for the difrence or not. dont think that law is strictly true though about size, I have seen new up to date cars with tiny little red spare wheels

dxmedia:
Height is the same, but width is different. They are also limited on speed.  back to that emergency v normal use thang.
