Not quite sure if this is the correct forum for this question but here goes...<br><br>I bought my truck used, the previous owner added 16.5 wheels with 33x12.50x16.5 tires. The factory spare which I believe is a 265/75/R16 (?) still hangs under the bed... so I have no spare. <br><br>At the tire shop this morning, I asked about a 33&quot; tire for a 16&quot; wheel. I was told that the closest I could get was a 285/75/R16, which has an actual diameter of 32.85&quot;, I was also told that my 33&quot; have an true diameter of 32.50&quot;, making a difference of +0.35&quot;. <br><br>Is this difference enough to worry about? Should I go this route, or should I bite the bullet, buy another 16.5&quot; wheel and get a 33&quot; tire to match the rest?<br><br>Thanks for the help.<br><br>Russ

Usr the one ya got as long as it's just to get ya home.<br>It won't hurt any thing temporary.<br>It's not real good on a posi unit.<br> If you have to go a long ways [ over 100 mi. ] I would put it on the front and not use 4 wheel drive if you have posi. trac.<br>If no posi. you can run it on the back.<br>To me it's not worth the cost of a new wheel.<br>If you are worried go with the 285, it's close enough to run awhile.<br>Still the posi. concerns are there if going a long ways.<br><br> : Eddie : 8)
