So I went from 18's to 22's and what a diffence! The new stance looks badass! Anyway, if I get a flat tire now, can I still use the spare? I just checked the spare again and it looks like I have to inflate first. :unsure:

Thanks!

Lets see some pics with it mounted!

If the diameter of the tires were same, you could. From the pics it looks like you went to a taller tire, so they will not be rotating at same speed and could not use it.

I would doubt it would be wise to use the spare for more then a few miles. You need to measure the rolling distance and if they differ more then 5% I wouldn't risk it or you could end up doing severe damage to the differential units.

+1 meaning you agree with them?

If I cant use the spare, what should I use instead? I dont want to put a full size spare on the roof.

You could actually just loose the spare tire and gain some extra cargo space and get some tire sealant. This is pretty much what us with Turbos are left with, we get a speaker insteand of a spare tire.

Learned something again today. I didn't know Turbo's didn't come with a spare. :)
