Wheel size and Tyre question

Maybe a 265 x 70R16 would be closer

I have a 285x75 on my 16's

Ok, so are we saying 265/75 R16 tyres fit on a 15" rim or are you saying if I want to standardise I got to get rid of the 4 wheels, or the change the spare, and the respective tyre/s.

thanks

No

Maybe yes

Let me get this straight
You are happy with the current 4 wheels & tyres on the vehicle (with 15" rims) but want to make sure the spare is compatable with these 4 ?
If so, then Bonz gave you ther answer above.
The only thing that would stop you putting a 265/75R16 on your spare is if the spare is a skinny split rim. A 265/75R16 would most likely be too wide for this type of rim.
If this is the case, better off getting a second hand 15" rim and tyre that is the same as the current 4 on the vehicle.

Tried to keep it simple for ya, hope it helps

No anywhere you see 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 etc thats the rim size

15" rims need 15" tyres

OMG i bought a ute with a spare wheel different size to the rest of the four carrying me, now to find a rock to hide under and renew my membership in a different name ...

while the wheel my be of a different diameter (16" vs 15") withthe correct tyre you can still have the same overall diameter (or very close). Having said that, I'd be finding a 15" wheel and matching tyre.
