Ones with 19s come in, spare tire question

hey guys i was wondering if it is even reasonable for us 19" rim owners to have a spare tire......if one of them goes, you put that in....wouldnt the car be tilting like crazy in an angle toward the space tire since it is so small compared to the other rims??? i dunno ive been wanting to ask and find out if anyone else is thinkin the same thing. let me know. thanks

unless your 19" and whatever tires you're using has an overall diameter larger than your original wheels (basically the diameter of your spare) then the car would tilt a little.

I've had to roll on a spare, and it was just fine.

As far as I remember the spare is the same diamater, just a much smaller section width. That being said, you should have never have any clearance issue with any suspension drop. The only problem you'll run into is upgraded brakes will more than likely not fit.
