small donut spare

[Skavatar]

I'm trading in my 2014 Kia Sportage for a YLR. I'm wondering if the Kia's spare will work on the Y. same bolt pattern 5x114.3

BUT it is a 16" wheel, 155/90/16 tire, overall diameter is 27" vs the 28" of the Gemini tire. the Kia has 235/55R18 which is 28.2" would it be narrow enough to not interfere with the brake calipers? the center is about 4" or about 95mm, not sure what offset that would be equal to.

this would only be for emergency like when I goto work at 5am and have a blow out. if it happens at 2pm when i get off work i can either call Tesla RA or my AllState RA. a normal nail in the tire with slow leak I will just refill the tire with my tire inflator and go to the nearest Discount Tires.

also what about the scissor jack 2210 lbs?

16" is too small to fit over the brakes. 18" is the minimum for the MY. The outer diameter isn't as important for a spare, it can be off by an inch or two, so long as you obey the speed requirements set by the manufacturer.

The scissor jack is also too close to the threshold of the car's weight, 2210 lb is too close to half the weight of the car. Because the car will lift an entire half when jack up at a single point, you'll be better off with 1-1/2 ton or more. I have 2 and 3 ton floor jack along with a supposed 2 ton scissor jack that came with the Modern Spare that I got from Amazon.
