Default A spare for Jambo

Hi All,

I just upgraded to 265/70R17 on my WH. I bought new wheels to fit them with a better offset then stock.

However, I only bought 4......

So, can I fit a 265/70R17 to a standard rim and use it as a spare?

I imagine it won't fit on the front due to stock offset, but would it fit ok on the back?
If so, I could swap a rear for a front if I am really in a pinch.

Cheers
Dave

It will fit rear. It will also fit under the back with the towbar mod.

Fit a 245/75/17 to one of your stock rim.
O/D is close enough to a 265/70 that you won't have any issues.

Mine fits in the spare wheel well with no air in it, I pump it up to 30 psi oonce in place to stop the low tyre pressure alarm.

Slight rubbing on the front sway bar, but only on full lock.

Sorry for the late reply as I'm kicking back in the NT at the moment. Might not even make it back for Jambo myself. [IMG][/IMG]
