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 |
