    Looked into different forums but can't seem to find a clear answer to:

    I am running 285/70/17s right now (SCS Ray 10s) and I am wondering if I can use or a buy an extra stock spare and put 285/75/16s as my 5th wheel. Will this cause any stress to my truck if I decide to continue to wheel with the spare, even though its technically still "33s"?

    What I know so far:
    1. I can use my stock spare (not upgraded) w/ OEM lugs and it'll be fine for a bit (not for off-roading)
    2. SCS Ray 10s 17x8.5 5th wheel would be better but its out of stock....
    3. Can the weight be an issue because of the other 3 wheels?
    4. The big question: Can i do donuts with that upgraded 5th wheel?

    Look for a spare 17” off someone else, get the same size tire and then swap to the 17” ray 10 when it’s available.
