17" spare options
As some of you know, coming across well priced 17" alloys, to have a full size spare, is down to luck... and more luck!
Has anyone tried other rims manufacturers? The RAV4 steel 17"x6.5 or Territory 17"x6.5 (or 7) have similar offsets (+42 / +36.5 respectively) and the 114.3x5 stud patters
Curious to know what others have done.
Hoping to pick up an X-trail alloy for a full size spare, and a second 17" rim for a secondary spare (outback trip). Lease company will pay for the 2 spares if they're in 17"

Re:
Hey Dave,
Thanks for that - but I ended up getting a 17" steel one, which fits perfectly. No idea from what Nissan car it was from (probably a Murano). Maybe if i see a cheaper one, i'll consider it, but $330 vs my current steel one... happy to use steel for now.

Re:
Dave, the 225/65/17 fits if it's deflated to 7 psi or something like that. It won't fit if fully inflated to highway pressure. A couple of reasons there why I got a wheel carrier for the spare.

Re:
I didn't have this problem fitting a full size 18" alloy wheel and tyre in the back on my Ti
Full/normal tyre pressure as well.
