i got the crappy donut, so how much smaller is the none lsd donut? I doubt mine will fit on the front of the car. I have a feeling that if I get a flat on the front I would have to put the spare on the back and move the back tire to the front.

Does anyone know the actual measurements of the different spare tires?

LSD's don't like unequal sized wheels/tires so that makes sense. It's bad for the unit.

doesnt matter if its lsd or non lsd, you always want same tires on the drivetrain unless you have a awd or 4wd then they come with fullsize I think
