New 20" US Mags Ramblers finally installed
Now what are my spare tire option since my 15" rallies don't fit any longer?

The spare off a recent base model Jeep Wrangler? They’ve got 17” steel wheels and all season tires. Pretty sure they’re 5x5”. Not sure on the offset.

Not exactly sure what "AAA" means. Are you referring to the components I used for the spindle, springs etc?

In Alberta it’s a road side assistance.
Like if you need a tow truck. Or a boost Sometimes cheaper for membership than buying a spare. https://www.aaa.com/roadtrips/wester...berta-DT564401 |

I hope I never see the day when I call for a wrecker instead of changing my own flat tire.

I think he was referencing calling a wrecker because he had no spare.

Re: New 20" US Mags Ramblers finally installed
My .02 is confirm the 5"x5" bolt pattern and then go on Craig's List and find a not so pretty wheel that will work. As long as it's straight. Then buy a tire that is the same diameter as the rear tire on you new wheels. The reason for matching the rear diameter is that if you have posi rear mismatched tire diameters will kill your posi clutches. Doesn't matter if you need to put the spare up front.

Re: New 20" US Mags Ramblers finally installed
Wrangler Bolt pattern is correct, but the center bore hole is way smaller and probably wont clear the hubs. At least they didn't on my 81.
