Spare tire/wheel question

deeLow · 04-17-2014, 02:31 AM

Alright, so I'm going to be mounting my new setup in the next few days with a 255/40/17 tire with an overall height of 25".

So, my question is- strictly for EMERGENCY use where my new non RFT get a hole or leak, could I possibly get away with using one of my STOCK 225/45/17 tires/wheels with the same overall diameter of 25" without doing any damage.

Yes

Yes

I had a full size spare for my car until I got tired of it taking up the entire trunk & went with the compact spare...

What compact spare did you get?

I also have a compact spare.. Got the XI spare kit from BavAuto.

Thanks Quik

I'm not planning on buying a spare to keep in the trunk. And in the event I had a situation(0 in my 8 years of driving) I'll just have someone pick me up so I can get what I need at home and go back.
