Wrong size spare tire?
I was wondering if there is any use carrrying around a spare tire that is the wrong size? I have 285's on my truck now and the spare tire is still the stock 265, will it mess up my truck if I use the smaller tire? if so I'm gonna ditch the extra weight. BTW i have a g80 if that matters?

As for having different size wheels: I plan on ordering 5 20" wheels when I eventually get my wheels because I will be upgrading the brakes that will require larger than a 16" wheel - and I don't want to get stuck. . . anywhere.

you dont want 2 different hieght tires on the rear especially if you have some type of locking or posi device....now to make ur desion harder after i just made it easier, if u have a flat on the back tires move a front to the rear and put ur spare up front.
