well that idea is out unless i can find a "gently" used wheel. the dealer wants almost $400 for one wheel
they did verify that my spare is full size though, 17x7

this may be a dumb question, but I've searched the forum to no avail... is it safe to assume that my full size spare has the same width and diameter as my regular wheels? |

Should be the same rim and tire as the 4 on the ground are.The space saver spares are the same diameter as stock but much thinner on a steel rim only. |

i bought my KK used, so I probably got screwed on the 5th wheel. my spare has the full size tire, but its definitely not the same wheel as the other four. I am looking for new tires for when I put my lift on, so I was thinking about a 5 tire rotation. Definitely wont be doing that with a "5th wheel" thats not the same as the others. leaning toward the Nitto Terra Grappler 265/65R17 btw edit: So if i do have the smaller steel rim, what are important characteristics of the spare tire, assuming I dont get the same tire as the other 4? I would think the main ones are having comparable load capacity and same diameter as other 4... |

so I got the PN off the spare today. it is 52125069AA can anyone verify that it is a 17x7 wheel? The only site I found with some info on the wheel is in Russian, and translating it didn't clear things up |

Other wise drive line parts will break when in 4X4 mode. |

well I don't plan on throwing the crummy looking spare into my rotation, and by now (28k miles) if i ever go to use it, it will be significantly larger than the other 3. im thinking about buying a 5th wheel to match the other 4 so i will be able to use a 5 tire rotation with my new tires |
