265/75 16 as a spare w 285/75 16 ok?

[skshepherd]

I found a tire calculator that said the diff is 1.18 inches. How much of a problem would that be?

Short term (to get home), probably not much. Don't use it on the front axles.

It's not a big problem if you don't lock things up and don't go too fast or too far.

But if you don't have it already, there may be a better match out there. Isn't one of the 255 close? Like the 255/85 or something like that?

265/75/16 tires

I use that size of tire on my 94 L/C and considering that size on the LX470 they are the same size within .1 of inch of the OEM sized tires. As a spare there should be no problem.

OP, no. Sell it and get matching spare.

Think of the little donut spares compared to the full size and think of the difference in rotation between inside and outside tires on a sharp turn. Your diffs can certainly handle this for short term use provide you don't lock them on a solid surface ( as mentioned above).

Although it sounds like you did the better thing and get a matching spare.
