Space saver tire size?

detoxed · Posted: Fri Nov 25, 2016 1:11 pm Post subject: Space saver tire size?

Upgraded to 15" wheels/ tires and need a spare for future travels; had no spare when I bought the "ZenBox" so I'm considering using a "donut" space saver to easily fit in the clamshell, lighter wt(?) than the rim and tire combo being used. I've searched/ googled with no answers. My overall tire diameter is 27". Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

A 27" tire will fit with a little work. Get a full size spare.

it's forever educating people that rim diam has nothing to do with outer tire diameter. 14in 15in and even 16in rims fit w/o modification.

unless you have upgraded your brakes to larger brakes. a stock 14in rim will suffice as a spare. make sure you have ALL the hardware (lug bolts & NUts) to suit the spare steel rim.
