Posted April 22, 200816 yr comment_244981 I'm curious what people have done when changing their wheels? What did you do when going from 14" stock wheels to 15" wheels? I'd like to save a buck or two if I can so I'm looking at options.Right now I see my only option is getting five 15" tires and wheels and storing the 14" wheels including spare and replacing the spare with a 15" also. Can you easily get a 15" "generic" as in "cheap" wheel for the new 15" spare so you don't have to sink lots of money into a nice looking wheel that you don't see?What did you do?

April 22, 200816 yr Author comment_244983 Why would you need to change the spare?If you put the spare on would it cause a problem as a mismatch? I've driven on the doughnut spares but I always assumed they were the same diameter.If I can use the 14" then I'll be glad to hear that!

April 22, 200816 yr comment_244985 I have 2256014s on my car. My spare, which is the original, collapsable temporary that comes with the later S30s. Sure it's a mismatch. But I would only use it long enough the get the flat fixed. (If I ever have one....knock on wood!)

April 22, 200816 yr comment_244987 As long as the overall diameter of the new tires is similar to the stockers, your stock spare will work fine, regardless of the wheel size. It will probably be a lot closer than the doughnuts that modern cars come with these days.
