HI there!
I have a RR 2000 with 255/65/16 tires on it, but I want to upgrade to a set of 19" or 20" but I just can find sets of 4 wheels, so I wonder about the spare and when I ask about it some say that I can use the old 16" wheel as a spare and it would be safe but others say would destroy the transmition and all kind of bad things would happen.
So does anybody knows for sure if is safe to drive the RR with a different size wheel ?would matter??
I think as long the overall diameter of the tire and wheel don't change I would be fine but I don't know,
Thanks

Wheel size doesn't matter as long as the diameter of the tire is the same with in about 1/2 inch.
