A question about rim size...
I just bought a `88 Wrangler with 315/75/16 tires. I don`t have a spare tire
so I need a spare. I know that I need a 16" rim, 5 bolt 4.5" but what rim width do I need for a 315/75/16 tire? Thanks Boris |

A question about rim size...
An 88 with 16's?????? Stock it came with 15's. You can use any 15"
wrangler rim and a cheap tire as close to the same size as you can get for a spare unless you have lockers all around. I 'sure' wouldn't put a tire that large out back. It will rip the back door off on the first off road trip. I run 33x9.5's on stock chrome Laredo 15x7" rims with a 31 as a spare. The '75 aspect ratio usually fits on a 7" or 8" wide rim. The original tires were on a 7" rim with some trim packages coming with an 8" rim.

A question about rim size...
An 8-10" rim should work. Couldn't you just remove a wheel and measure the
rim width? it's possible to do without removing the tire, if you want the spare to match.

A question about rim size...
Most rims have the size stamped into the back side.

A question about rim size...
Thank you for the replies so far....I`m going to get one of those 48"
Farmers Jack`s At this point I just want a spare tire... as long it is the same height as the other 3 tires I don`t care if it is skinnier. I`m only going to drive 10 miles or so until I get the original 35" tire fixed. I`m looking for a $50 steel rim and a $100 tire. I`m probably not the sharpest crayon in the box when it comes to tires+rim sizes..... could someone suggest a rim and a tire....please.

A question about rim size...
Those 'farmers jacks' are more properly called 'widow makers' and have
no business anywhere near a Jeep in my opinion! I carry a hand cable winch called a come-a-long, http://www.cvfsupplycompany.com/hanpowpulcom.html And I have a small floor jack that tucks tight behind the passenger seat for changing tires. I only need to jack it 2" to change a tire. I use the axles.....

A question about rim size...
Some folks think they can use the farm jack as a winch..... Or the
come-a-long can be used to winch the Jeep up to a tree to change a tire...

A question about rim size...
If I get a 225/75/16 or 205/75/16 will this be the same height as my
315/75/16? and what rim width will I need for this tire as a spare? or am I way off base.

A question about rim size...
The larger tire is about 34.6 inches tall while the smaller is 29.3 inches
tall. The smaller tire (stock size) came with a 7 inch rim although you could safely use down to a 6 inch rim. If you just need something to get you by (emergency use only) you can probably get a used 33" (275-285mm) tire on an used 8 inch rim pretty cheaply.
