Did a search but didn't really find an answer.

One of my 22" alloys has a crack in it so I've put my spare wheel (20") on for now. I assumed that I will ok to do so for a few days until it's done but the diameter is slightly different. My 22's are 285/35/22 and my spare (original supercharged alloys) are 255/50/20. I entered the info on a tyre site and the difference is slight but will it be ok to use? Either that or the ffrr will be off the road for a few days.

Thanks

.. constant use with differant size tyres on a 4x4 will knacker the transfer box but for the few days you are going to use it ,take it easy and dont do any long journeys or rag it , it'll be ok

Standard size for 20in rims is 255/50, so this would reduce down the overall diameter to within the acceptable tolerances.

i had the wrong size in the first pic so i've rectified it with the correct size...the difference is very minimal so no problems..

More observant than my wife, she wouldn't have noticed
