Hi all, I'm currently looking putting a dobinson 40mm lift in my grand vitara and I am wanting to grade my tyres as well to some all terrain ones but not sure on what size to go to. I am looking at 245/65/17 but my issue is that what the heck do you do with the spare as I do t believe it will fit in the cover. What has everyone else done when they have upgraded their tyres. Obviously you can't use a odd size tyre when ya get a flat as you will start damaging cv shafts and gearbox etc. Good to hear your feed back |

Might be a case of ditch the cover? As long as the bigger tyre fits on the door, be done with it! Rgs, Michael |

Just run it without the cover, the inner part is easy to remove, you may need to space the tyre away from the body with a couple of thick washers over the studs. |

I ditched my cover and sold it on gumtree for the mods fund. Also as steve said put some washers in as it will scrub ever so slightly. |

We have done the same..... managed to squeeze a 225/75/16 inside the cover but it was so tight it took ages to get it off. Ditched the cover and its all good. |
