I have a 19" rim with 245's on the left hand rear and the povo spare on the right hand rear.. Will this cause any problems.. if any? Apart from the sh*tty handling...Its only till the weekend, cause time off work is impossible at the moment....Cheers Mike...

Just take it easy though. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/44512-245s-and-spare-wheel/#findComment-659488 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the tyre joint near me and the guy said it was ok. The flat was due to a puncture so it was easily fixed and $25 later I was outta there Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/44512-245s-and-spare-wheel/#findComment-659766 Share on other sites More sharing options...
