spare tire question...

I have a 2009 tacoma sport 4x4 double cab. I just bought new rims and im going to ru. 265/75/16 tires with my new set up.

Will my spare tire still work? If i vet a flat and have to use the spare will i cauee damage to my truck because the tire sizes will be different?

 

Not likely. Many vehicles in recent years have come with compact or "space-saver" spare tires, designed to be used at slower speeds for short distances to a shop to have the normal tires fixed. To be safe (yourself & your vehicle), you should probably adopt similar tactics (slower speeds & short distances) with your odd sized spare.

 

Can it cause damage to the axle if ru.ning to differnt size tires?

 

Again, for short distances, not likely. The greatest dangers are vehicle instability, changes in braking, and similar. These can all be controlled with slower speeds.
