Have you used you OEM spare? What other size wheels did you have on?

I have 17/18s and wondered how it would work out if I lost a rear tire (or any tire) and had to
drive on the OEM spare.

This seems like it would be bad in some way ... any input and experiences?

Thanks - Al

The diameter of the 15 " oem front tire is 23.07 " and the 16" rear is 24.85.
I don't know the diameter of the blow up spare but it is designed to run in place of either of these tires.
If you measure the diameter of your 17 and 18 tires and they are close to the 15/16 diameter you should be fine.

That's correct.

FWIW, the inflatable spare on the '91-96 is 165/80-15, which has a calculated outer diameter of 25.39".
 
If I recall, the manual and door sticker state two different inflation pressures, depending on whether the spare is going on the front or on the back.
26 front / 32 rear or something like that.
