245's And Spare Wheel

Featured Replies

#1

Hey, just got a flat a while ago, and my question is... I have a 19" rim with 245's on the left hand rear and the povo spare on the right hand rear.. Will this cause any problems.. if any? Apart from the sh*tty handling...

Its only till the weekend, cause time off work is impossible at the moment....

Cheers Mike...

Keep the high speed runs to a minimum and you will be fine.

Ford recommends a max of 80ks :stupid:

I was always concerned about this.

I'd swap the spare with a front rim and have a matching 19 on the rear. Just take it easy though.

I was always under the impression the tyres will turn at different speeds if rolling diameter is not the same and will destroy your diff

Thx for the advice... I went to the tyre joint near me and the guy said it was ok. The flat was due to a puncture so it was easily fixed and $25 later I was outta there

at least the people that put your rims on didnt crossthread a nut lol.

changed all my 20's back to stock to go down south and got to the front left hand one and found that I had one crossthreaded nut that wasnt gonna co-operate so now im left rolling on 4 nuts instead of 5 lol..no big deal..I hope

they RECCOMEND that but its not a tyre speed issue, those spare 16 dunlop tyres are suitable upto about 230kmph...

its more of a handling issue and they just say that speed for safety reasons.

Go and buy yourself another stud and replace it man! It will take you all of five minutes to pull through.
