Default Tire sizes difference..

ok.. if the tire size on one wheel is 26" and the other is 25.65" is this close enough to aviod posi carrier problems if it is only run like this for a few days??

SharkInShark i think you mentuioned within 5% of one another is ok.. 5% ok 26" is 1.25" so i am assuming 25.65 is close enough for the week right?

Close enough. The clutch packs in the posi are pretty tough. They'll be fine for a few days.

EDIT: I'm assuming you're not going to be putting a lot of miles on the car the next few days . . . the factory spare is often +/- in diameter from the regular wheels, and I think the owner's manual says 50 miles max or so.
