Can I use 2 different spare wheels at same time?
 
Hello,

I need to get my damaged rear wheels fixed, but the problem is I only have one spare wheel. (it is 17" style# 130)
so, I was just wondering if I can put and drive another same size 17" spare wheel but different style# at same time while I leave my wheels at shop?

would it be ok for couple days? :dunno:

Wuzin, you better closely match the size of fronts and rears not to damage your transfer case. I don't know what's your aspect ratio of your front wheels but putting 17" spares on the rear with your 22" fronts is not a good idea.

I have a second set of wheels/tires if you like to borrow while your rims are being fixed.

i dont see why not as long as the wheels are of the same size (left and right)

As Koister indicated, you may damage the transfer case if the fronts don't closely match up with the rears in the overall rolling diameters. Matching the left and right sides only save you on the differential.

Wuzin, in a nutshell, if your 22" setup is close to the OEM rolling diameter (about 29"), then you shouldn't have a problem using your 17" as spare along with another similar size 17" OEM.
