Using my spare wheel...

[Tom Messy]

My wheels are 14" and my spare is 13". Is it ok to use the spare as it's smaller? I think the tyre is fatter though...

better to keep different size wheels on the rear as then it doesnt ###### up the diff.
with that size difference though, i should think you will be fine!

Yeah it's fine but obviously as a short term thing, get you home etc.

Chuck the spare out and buy some tyre weld, alternatively get a 14inch spacesaver from the scrappy.

i'm guessing he's asking as he wants to paint his steelies 1 by 1/

There is a rolling radius calculator and visual simulation on the Carbibles website. If you enter the size of your 14" and your 13" tyre you will probably find that they are pretty much the same outside diameter.

Yes I was thinking about spraying the steelies silver, but lacking a seperate set the only option is one by one! *yawns!*

Yes that was my thought. Shouldn't be too much different

Tyre weld isn't all that great, especially if you have a blow out!
