Trac control attempts to brake this wheel as it appears to be spinning (because it has to rotate at a higher rpm to cover the same distance as the stock wheel) and brakes get hot.badaboombadabing Edited 04/05/12 04:47 AM by Ralph Wiggum FIXED! thanks Ratter :) 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80015-space-saver-causing-fire/page/2/#findComment-1231661 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing that their rolling diameter is way more than the stock space saver, they need to be the same or pretty close Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80015-space-saver-causing-fire/page/2/#findComment-1231723 Share on other sites More sharing options...
