77 15x6 wheel will it fit 72
Cameron 77C3:
Now I will stand corrected on this but you should watch that. If running diameter is different then your circumference well be different and you could load up your limited slip diff. When dealing with circumferences you are dealing with the factor of PI
Say a tyre had, for example only, an outside diameter of 600mm. The circumference would be PI x D = 1885.2mm
Now lets say you had a tyre with an outside diameter of 605mm. The circumference would be PI x D = 1900.9mm
There fore the smaller diameter is going to want to spin faster than the larger diameter for the same distance travelled.
Maybe not a big issue as a spare, but if you had to drive some distance..............
Just a thought.
77CVT:
Correct. Short distance only. ;51
Not a huge worry though considering no spare at all.

4mm is pretty close so i wouldn't worry, remember we don't travell in a straight line.
The curves and turns on our roads would induce a lot more wear on the LSD than this small discrepancy.
Besides after a few good burnouts with those 295's the diameter will probably be the same as the spare.:22

Sure, but the majority of normal driving is in a straight line, and diffs are not designed to "differentiate" for wheel rotation speeds continuously -- only for the short periods during cornering.

True, but it's only 4mm in diameter we're talking here, or if you like 2mm of tread depth, easily fixed 69DR style.;46
