Looking for a tire to use on a custom wheel... as a spare, for a GT500..
Want to match the Overall Diameter as close as possible.


255/45-18 (Front) 27.04 Overall Diameter
285/40-18 (Rear) 26.98 Overall Diameter

So, I want the absolute skinniest tire I can find to run as a spare, then will build a rim to match, for the tire, and mounts over my brakes.

Ideas?

I am selling (2) 215/45-18 Pirelli pzero Nero tires - new. Thought I wold use them for a better reaction time but decided to go deep instead. They are mounted on stock 18" wheels. PM me if you have questions.

Thanks i'll keep that in mind....

Really hoping for something really narrow. I can get a Goodyear 145/80-18 Spare... which will fit the 4x18 wheel I have in mind.. But was not sure if there were other options.

Thanks for the post E.Marquez.

At this time we do not offer any donut spares like the 145/80-18 you found.

The narrowest option we have that is near 27 inches in rolling diameter is size 225/50-18.
