Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Following a truck who spilled lots of debris on the freeway. Damaged my rear wheel badly but tires are ok. Can I use a spare front wheel 8" wide to the rear wheel just to get home? Any issues I should look into? Will be ordering a new set of wheels later.

POST 2Original post

Newb here, but I believe that you are supposed to put the front tire on the rear and the donut on the front. Others with more experience will chime in.

POST 3Original post

Blrmkr is right, moving a front to the rear and putting the spare up front is the ideal method.

POST 4Original post

Good to know. Yikes ! Sorry for the accident. I learned a long time ago as a motorcycle rider avoid all trucks at all times. Habit persists in my PCar.

POST 5Original post

My 2004 C4S came with a deflated donut spare and a cigarette lighter air pump. I had a rear tire flat last fall. I followed the directions in the manual and used the donut on the rear. I only drove it a couple of miles and also drove very easy and slow. No problem with the donut on the rear. I was super impressed by the ease of use and the utility of that collapsible donut tire and pump! When I was done it deflated back to its original compressed format and is back in place under the hood. Great job by Porsche with that feature!!!
