Hi guys,
i am very new, only got 1 year driving experience.
I just wondering if i got 17" 215/45/17 new rims on my car.
but i just got 195/60/15s in the boot.
If someday i got a flat tyre or something, is it possible to use that as a spare wheel?
thank :)

Yes it would work but the balance would be different and the odometer meter would read differently eg kms
i would recommend you to purchase the same tyres!

just make sure you put the spare tyre on the non drive wheels, ie the rear.
Then get the damaged tyre fixed asap.

I had 3 205/40/17 and 1 175/55/14 for about a week while other 17 was getting fixed.. Worst drive ever, back end was outa balance and car shook so much....But if your gona have a 15" spare, just carry around a can of that quick fix tire stuff spray stuff , if its a small puncture just use that then get tire fixed asap once home
