I finally have my tire on order and my powdercoater picked for my wheel set; but one issue that has been bugging me is losing my spare.
I'm going to 6 piston Brembos and rear 2013 GT500 rotors. So the OEM spare is useless now. So I've been thinking of picking up a 19x8.5 GT500 2013 style wheel from AM and throwing on a cheap 255/40/19 on there for a spare. That will fit in the spare tire well (it will stick up an inch).
Problem is that I read that any tire/wheel height difference of more than 3% between two rear tire/wheels can cause damage to the rear differential. Now I know a spare is a temporary measure; but just how fast or type of conditions can make this damage come about?
