    Default Flat tyre

    Is it ok to throw a 16 or 17 inch spare tyre on a vz when my other tyres are 20 inch ? Probably use one out of a vy s pack, so not sure bout the size...

    For a short period of time yes. I'd be putting it on the back though

    Put the spare next to one and check that the diameter is close.

    It's ok by Holden apparently, my Dad's SV6 runs 18inch rims and has a 16 inch steel spare in the boot from stock.
