Subject:15" steel/spare options and storage???
From:Brian Butler
Date:Sun, 16 Feb 2003 23:20:54 -0800

I bought a set of 15" alloys for my Syncro and,
afterwards, the spare tire issue hit me.
I know you need to be very particular about keeping
the circumference of your 4 tires as close as possible
on the Syncro. But...
How much damage do I risk driving a short distance,
(to get the flat repaired), with my stock 14" spare
and  three 15"'s, in case of a flat.
If that idea is completely out of the question, what
is a cheap source for vanagon 15" steel wheels for
spare usage?
Also, I haven't had a chance to check yet, but does a
15" wheel with a 205/65 fit in the spare tire tray up
front?

Thanks in advance for the advice,
Brian
