Re: spare tires - would they fit?
They are both 13s so physically they will fit, but your rolling radius will be altered so the speedo will be miles out.
Re: spare tires - would they fit?
As in, traveling at 70 ill be doing 80 or 60?
Re: spare tires - would they fit?
oh no, the change would not be that significant from a tire being 65 to one that is 60!!
Re: spare tires - would they fit?
So there would be hardly any change?
It would only be temporarily any way. Just need them on, and then get my tracking sorted.
If i were to upgrade to alloys in the future, would the tracking have to be done then as well?

At 70, the speedo will show around 78mph
Re: spare tires - would they fit?
