24" guys...What kind of spare?

[Jamison]

I was thinking the other day, what if I get a flat? Will the stock rim/tire that is back there be big enough to drive on if I were to get a flat and have to use it? Has anyone with 24" rims had this issue yet?

it all depends on the total overall outside diameter of both wheels. for it to work with no leaning issues, the spare should have the same outside diameter of the new wheel/tire combo. if the spare is smaller you can always try a taller sidewall tire, so the ouside diameter matches that of the new wheel/tire combo. hope it helps

i used my factory tire one time when i had some shredding on my 24in wheels with a 305/35/24, it leaned a little bit, i suggest getting a little bit taller tire to match your tire height

I have a factory rim on my with 22" rims. The much thicker factory tire on the 16" rim is about the same height as my 22" rim and tire. I can imagine your extra two inches of rims could have it looking crazy with a low corner.

I have a 16" spare. I was curious can I swap it out with a stock 17" spare? Will it mount right up? I have spindles and 16" rims are a no go....

A real balla would get a 24" spare.

I roll a 24" spare. It isn't a pretty wheel since it spends all it's time under the body and it doesn't match the other 4 but the tires are the same size and you can't tell when it's rolling that it's a spare.

Spare...... but then where will I put the tanks and compressors? My spare is AAA and OnStar baby........

Spare? where will my battery, compressor, shorter rear end and 24x15 wheels go?

I got a bagged truck that lays frame on 22's to ballllll in This is just the daily.....haha. Sooooo I assume a 17" GM spare can be directly swapped with a 16"????
