    Billy,

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think what you meant was:

    The diameter of the tire is more important than rim width.

    I use a 285/75x16" for a spare wether I'm running my 33/12.50x20" or my 285/75x16".

    They're all just slightly under 33" diameter, no matter what the width.

    Granted, I may have to rotate the spare to the front if I get a flat...but a tire of different width & the same diameter will usually get you to the nearest tire place.

    Hey! Thanks everyone for the input. Hopefully I will never need the spare, but in the event of a blow out I would like to have something that can get me out of the area I am wheeling in, and onto a regular road and to the nearest tire shop, so probably, worst case scenerio, would be like 200 miles or something, maybe more if I was in the boonies. So, I will check into my options. Moab is only about a month away!!!

    Thanks again,

    Bart
