Help, Problem with flat tyre

Postby MY-25-GT » Sun Jul 22, 2012 11:23 am

I am currently running 215 35 R19 wheels on my liberty and have a flat tyre, is it ok to run the standard spare on my Spec B which from memory is a 225 40 r18, is this ok or could it possible do damage to the running gear or the car?
Modifications: STI rear spoiler - STI front lip - STI front strut brace - 19inch HSP lexani wheels - SPT air intake - HKS dump pipe - Redback cat back exhuast system - Custom carbon fiber front grill
Future plans: Tech S Tein springs - tint rear lights - HID fog lights and parkers - Boost Guage - Rear Diffuser

Avoid it if possible. The rolling diameter difference is about 4mm with those two tyre sizes. Someone else can comment on the extent of damage that could be caused.. How far do you need to go to get the 19" repaired/replaced?

Do you have a pair/set of stock wheels you could use in the mean time?

If its a rear that's flat he could use the 18" and put that fuse in that makes the car a FWD (If GT's have it that is)

Not sure about the fuse and its the front anyway, but I think im not going to risk it at all and find a way of just taking that particular wheel in to get the tyre fixed. I did have a stock set but hey were stolen.

Thanks everyone for the comments

Ah shit, remeber reading that. Bugger :(

As said if it's auto you can run it in 2wd temporarily.. But yeah avoid it if possible (that's just my oppinion by the way, I am not a mechanic)
