Spare aftermarket rim/tire

**rj_tim** · April 27th, 2011 10:20 AM

Guys, need your advice. Worth it ba bumili ng 1 more piece ng tire/aftermarket wheel combo as spare? TIA!

Don't you have the OEM spare tire anymore? Unless you go offroad and travel long distances in remote areas, no need for 2 spare tires/rim IMO.

Addt'l weight will affect your FC.

For most cars, no. You can use your original spare tire that came with the car.

The only time it might be worth the money is if your car is equipped with a LSD or AWD system and your new aftermarket wheels are of a different overall diameter than your original wheel.

also if your sports car has different rim sizes or width in the front vs the rear baka puwede din.

Pero parang hassle yung ganun.

How big can the difference between the overall diameters of the OEM and aftermarket rims go?

If your concern is for your Honda City 2010 1.3S M/T, having different sized spare wheel is not an issue.

+1 ako dito.

so when you guys bought your new set of wheels they're exactly the same size (as in down to the last centimeter)?

for example: stock wheels on a 1.3 2009 jazz is 175/65/15.
...as per www.kouki.co.uk that's a rolling radius (RR) of 191.17 cm and a total diameter of 60.85...

say i increased from 15s to 17s and chose a 205/45/17 setup which has a rolling radius of 193.62cm and total diameter of 61.63cm...

the difference is basically 1 CM. ok lang naman to e no, as long as i return say the original flat tire ASAP or else di na sya magiging straight (wheel balancing and/or alignment)

TIA
