I just got a spare MT 215/75 on steel wheel, so the same question was on my mind. It is some 10kg of extra weight

I've had mine on for about a year and no problem yet.... Suppose it will depend in how much you open the door

Mines been ok up to date with 31" spare stuck on there as well as a spare spacer for the 15x8 steelies.

I used extra rubber bits to make the wobble stoppers longer and fit properly with the 31" tyre. Works ok, Time will tell for how long!
