I've been trying to decide which size tire and wheel to buy for a spare, I've been told by my dealer that I should get a front wheel and tire because the front WILL fit on the rear without issue but there may be problems with the rear fitting on the front. (Although they have not tried that yet. But if there is an issue they believe it may be associated with wheel offset!)when using Vaseline.
tried in a Chevrolet and a dodge. the kick out bar ahead of the rear tires slides in with friction. rear tires deform to get in there. front track narrower so no sweat on that. why could Yamaha not made the rear an inch narrower for easier transport. I need to tow my RV trailer so the machine must ride in the truck to get to the destination.
at least we know it can get done.
wondering how the front wheels would fit on the rear? an extra set of fronts may be in the plans.
sorry man! identical due to operator error. dunno how that happened. first pic attempt here. :banghead:Am I missing something or are the first five pictures identical?

u need something like this to take the weight of the gate View attachment 283
indeed, I plan on doing that for the same reasons you mention in addition to less rubbing going into the pickup.I personally run the same size tires all the way around my machine...always have and will continue too. Never had any issues. I have 28x9.00x14 all the way around. I specifically do that for the reason of having a spare and so I can rotate front to back on my swamp lites to wear better.
