THE "NORM" IS, THE SPARE IS A "TEMPORARY" KINDA THING
THE ORIGINAL WHEELS ARE THE SAME HEIGHT AND ALL GOES WELL WITH THEM IN PLACE
IF....THE SPARE IS SMALLER IN DIAMETER AND USED ON THE FRONT......THE TRANSMISSION OR DIFFERENTIAL IN IT, "THINK'S ITS TURNING (IN A TURN....AS ONE WHEEL IS TRAVELLING FURTHER IN ONE REVOLUTION) ALL OF THE TIME", EVEN THOUGH IT'S GOING STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD!!! (THE ODD TIRE CIRCUMFERENCE WILL MAKE ONE SIDE OF THE DIFFERENTIAL, TURN FASTER THAN THE OTHER SIDE)
.............FOR A SHORT TIME, THIS IS OK......STEERING MAY ALSO BE AFFECTED ON THE DRIVE WHEELS, AS IT MIGHT PULL TO ONE SIDE
FOR A LONG TERM FIX, MAYBE NOT SO GOOD
SO IF IT NEEDS TO BE A "LONGER TERM" FIX,
PUT THE SPARE ON THE REAR, AND MOVE ONE OF THE REAR TIRES (SAME SIZE) TO THE FRONT, SO THAT BOTH ARE EQUAL HEIGHT
GET IT BACK LIKE IT SHOULD BE AS SOON AS YOU CAN
