*just one of my random thoughts of the day :facesjump *

I know there are many of you guys out there with aftermarket rims, but has anyone acutally bought a fifth aftermarket wheel just incase one blows in the high way? Im just courious as to see if there is actually anyone out there that has done this so that the wheels match just incase of a blow out.

example: your riding no 17x8 all the way around and have 17x7 with some 225-45-17 tires (thats pertty close to the stock size) so that it would fit in where the stock spare wheel is at.

Zanky I'm planning on ordering a 5th Compomotive CXN but I need to do more measuring as I want a more inboard wheel for the front. "0" offset does scrap with ST springs (12+ yrs old though) I do have new Eibach in the garage. I'll probably go with +7 on the fronts at least.

ive got a 16x7 ssr for a spare for my 16in enkie's. it was made from a 15in centerpeice so not sure it will fit over the jk bbk when i get it installed. cost me $50 shipped on ebay including a tire with like brand new tread, though its got a groove cut in it from the car it was on sitting too low. ill prolly buy a 16x7 diamond racing steel wheel later for a spare.

I didn't with my Racing Hart C2. (Should have bought a single front and rear had I known they were being discontinued.)

But I highly recommend it for those that have any BBK. Either that or a close tie in with AAA/CAA.

Yep. I did get an extra wheel as a spare. Put the same tire on it as on the other 4. At least I know I'll get to the tire shop without wrecking something else...

how much for that 15x7 enkie? i have 3 of them and that would give me another full set.
