Spare tire for MH

Question

Looking at a couple different Super C's on the F600. Both Dynamax and Grand Design use three different size rims. Rear inner is steel, outer is aluminum and front is aluminum.

Some say they just carry a spare tire (no rim) and have a tire service put it on whichever rim has the bad tire. I hate waiting (and paying) and would prefer to do it myself.

I do have the Bead Buster and I have used it with my impact to remove a couple large tractor tires so I should be able to swap the tire out myself on the side of the road.

The other option (from a post on the Dynamax forum): This guy says to just get a spare to fit the front. The buy some through hole lug nuts. That way you can use the tire in any position.

Thoughts on this idea?

If we carry a full spare (tire and rim) will carry it either in the cargo trailer with the Xpedition or if pulling a TOAD in the back of it.

There’s 3 different size rims/wheels? &nbsp;I doubt it.&nbsp;what makes you think a standard steel rim like your inner rear dials won’t work in other positions?Maybe these new dually trucks are special?

Per Grand Design:&nbsp; &nbsp;"They are all the same tires, but different wheel configurations to accommodate offset and backspacing"

Well my apologies….never seen a normal ish dually truck with 3 different backspacings.
And honestly still find it hard to believe.
But assuming it’s true, and say the inner rears have the least backspacing or offset, no reason that offset wouldn’t work on outer rear or front.
What are the different dimensions?

Did you visually see this looking at these rigs?

I guess I’d ask the mfg/dealer of these $3-400k rigs some very specific questions.&nbsp;
