ivantruckman Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 has anyone ever tryed to use the temp spare 15x5 inch rims to mount some narrow 15 inch tires, i think im crazy for the sugestion. im looking for some tires to fit. out in michigan i use the narrow ist tires for my snow plow truck. they seem to bite down to the road instead of float on top of the snow. hmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nipper Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 For off road it should work, maybe. From a purely technical point of view, yes. It will make for lousy, if not almost dangerous on road handling. I have had the joy (or bad luck) of driving a car with 4 temp spares on it (wasnt mine, was helping a friend) and it had some really scarry handling. Narrow tires affect handling and cross wind performance. I am assuming you mean as a off road snow tire, and not a mud tire. nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowmastered87GL Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 its been discussed before. I think the verdict was the rims were not designed to handle everyday use. Likely will bend or break and be unsafe. Especially with meatier tires on them. Get pugs of redrill 6 lugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawlerdan Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 i used a set, with 215 70 15 bfgs, on and off road, for over 60 k miles no problems. i would suggest you find pugs, but to answer your question, yes, it can be done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
