Hi,
When I upgrade my tires I used the 18" factory wheels. I didn't realize the spare wheel is 17". In order to keep the tire sizes the same I am in the market for an 18" steel wheel to use as my spare. Where is the best place to buy it? Thanks.

I really like these wheels on my 80th Anniversary. I had the same issue when I bought my 37s. Since I already had the 5 larger tires, I found an Overland wheel on eBay as well. Had it mounted & got it in the stock location with the addition of a Clayton off road adjustable rear trackbar

Are you sure you want an 18" steel wheel?

If it's a non-matching wheel, I wouldn't care if the wheel diameter was different as long as the overall tire diameter is the same. I'd just keep the stock 17" steel spare.

If going through the effort of swapping the spare wheel, I'd get a matching wheel. And then if the wheel matches, might as well rotate in the spare.

I was just going to jump back in this thread and say the same thing. The 17" diameter spare wouldn't matter as long as the tire diameter you mount on it matches or comes really close to your new setup. May be able to find a used tire?

Do you think 1/2" shorter on the spare tire would cause a problem if needed in an emergency? I currently am running 275/70R 18 on the Jeep, but would need to go to a 285/70R 17 for the spare?
