[QUOTE="Bozz, post: 1901650, member: 43530"] Have (4) 37's running on 20-inch rims on truck. Have had an [U]IMPOSSIBLE[/U] time finding a matching wheel (not particularly the brand, model or style....just the exact size, width, offset, bolt pattern, etc.) for a spare. Currently have original spare mounted under truck, 35-inch, which recently came to my attention that that would be useless as a spare while running 37's. Never even paid attention to the spare, been running for just under 3 years without so much as having need to put air in my tires (Cooper Discoverer STT Pro). They have held at 41lbs for almost 3 years! o_O I have the original 17-inch rims that came on the Raptor, plus the spare rim and tire (whatever that rim size is). I have looked at this from all possible angles and don't see a problem, just wanted a few more eyes on this before doing it... [B]Putting a 37-inch tire on a 17-inch rim [/B](for a spare)[B] will still have the same overall diameter of a 37-inch tire on a 20-inch rim. Still 37 inches. [/B](obviously it would be a 37 for a 17-inch rim, not trying to put a 37r20 on a 17) Shouldn't be a problem. For a spare. For a short-term use, get out of trouble situation, get back to town until getting one of the 37/20 tires fixed/replaced. [B]Anyone see a problem with this?[/B] Wouldn't be concerned about a spare at all, but going on a long-distance off-road event far from home and don't need to be stranded waiting for a new tire or new wheel.
