Larger Tires - Spare Tire Question

[laminad]

When upsizing tires and or changing offset with new wheels, do you change the tire size on the spare?

Or can you run stock spare tire ratios for what distance without a problem? Or do you big tire guys just never get flat tires?

I run 295/60 r20’s (34”) on aftermarket wheels. I changed the spare tire size also to match up in height. The spare rim is an 18 so I put on a 285/70 r18 (34”). That way I have no worries in getting a flat.

How more room did you have underneath there? 34 snug?

Yea, definitely want to replace the spare tire too cause you don't want to be driving with two different tire sizes.
