...if I'm running full time with 17" rims now? Especially considering I have a sage chin spoiler molded to the front facia? Probably be an issue getting it to fit in the spare tire location though? Marc
Just make sure your spare rim clears your brakes and the outside diameter matches the other four wheels
I'm thinking I could just keep the 15". It might just get me to a service station. I imagine I wouldn't have an issue if I blew a rear tire. I doubt I'd "bottom out". Even though I run different sizes in the rear, if I blew a front I could move one of the 17" rear tires there and put the doughnut on the rear?!
Rim diameter doesn't make much of a difference unless you have a big brake kit that you need to clear. other than that I'd only be concerned about the overall height of the entire assembly
I'd match your spare size to your drive wheels. the only thing that could be hurt by running different size tires would be the Differential

I'm thinking I'll throw it on and see what happens....just in case so I'm prepared in a pinch! Thanks for the replies
I'm using 18" with 225x40 tyres on - they are 5mm bigger in diameter than the 15" stock wheel and tyre so wont make much difference if you had to use the space saver wheel.
Great to know thank you! The only issue I can see having is up front where I have the chin spoiler and I'm about 4 inches from the asphalt If I blow out a front I'll just move a back one there and then use the spare in the back thanks for all the replies!
