Those of you with 30" tires and spares. Do you carry a fullsize or "make it back to camp stock tire".

Using a stock size would save a lot of space and some weight.

Figure it would be fine ,just not put it in diff lock.

A front tire works.
Your in an offroad environment. 30 vs a 28 want make a difference with drivetrain load.

Lots of people think thats a issue but its not. No different than the rear being locked and turning full circle.

Can I run a 12 inch stock in an a emergency case if I'm running 14 inch. To get back to point A? I have an extra set of 12 inch rims/ tires. Going on a trip next week and was considering just taking a front wheel and tire for incase situation. I

It’s the overall size of the tire that matters 12” vs 14” rim matters not if both tires are 27” tall for example.

If you have a shorter spare…it’s better than nothing at all. Just try to limit the times you run fully locked and you’ll be fine.

If this is not a Pioneer 1000 OEM wheel... Check the lug pattern.

Also check to make sure the lug holes are big enough. Some of the cheaper aftermarket 12 inch steel wheels won't fit over the lugs without drilling them out just a tad.

☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️ adding to what @TripleB said, I bought a rim and tire to use as a spare.
Turns out a standard lug nut wrench won't fit in the lug holes. I bought a handful of extended lugs just for the spare.
It's not perfect, but it'll work.
Luckily, I found out about the lug holes in my garage and not on the trail.

Full size exact match wheel and tire combo. That way no matter where I am at I know all things (driveline ect...) are equal. I can also continue to ride for the rest of my trip if I am away from home.

Many of us spend $1000s and many labor hours to get to a location to enjoy riding around. Sometimes planning the vacation around many days worth of riding. What a waste to need a spare and only have an awkward sized wheel/tire combo that doesn't match. Spend the $300 on a matched wheel and tire and the first time you need it to continue your ongoing vacation you will be grateful.

I’m having the same issue. Bought a spare wheel/tire combo from Rocky Mountain and I can’t tighten down the lug nuts with a socket because there is not enough clearance between the wheel holes and the lug nut even though they said they would work. Where did you get extended lug nuts? Thank you.

Auto Zone, O'Reilly's have splined lug nuts on the shelf.

Yep, what they said above. They're all over Amazon.
Good luck.
