i was thinking about this the other day - can i still use my donut if i get a flat? i have eibach pro-kit springs, SFCs, BMR DS safety loop, LCAs and relocation brackets.

yea prob, but it may put more stress on your suspension.......put it on and see how the car sits? good for an emergency,......but then again thats all a spare is for anyway

remember, since 1 tire is bigger than the donut, the donut will spin faster on the road, and be hell on your diff. thats why if I get a flat, I got a can of fix a flat, and a phone charger. I will just call someone

its just me, but I dont trust a spare tire that hasnt been moved since 1995 to hold my car up.......

I keep tire plugs and the tools to use them in my glove box so if I get a nail or somthing in my tire I can get it out and fix it without looseing to much air.Fix a flat is bad for the guy who trys to fix the tire later if you dont tell him you used fix a flat

yeah, i dont want to spray anything but air into my tires. i figured if i ever ended up getting a flat on a rear tire, i would put the spare on the front and move that tire back, but i dont want to drag my air dam down the road. i guess i will try this experiment in the garage sometime this week to know for sure.

Just don't run over anything sharp.

If the spare is the same height as the stock tires it should be fine. I never checked mine but I would do what ghettosled said and throw it on the front.
