16' Tacoma Spare Tire

what's the largest size spare tire that will fit underneath a 16' offroad DCSB?

 

I know a 265/75/16 will fit. not sure what else.

 

I'd love to hear from some folks running 32.8/33 inch. I'm about to try cramming a 285/70r17 up there, guess I'll need to hammer some of the little holder plates, but a little concerned about the pumpkin and the exhaust.

 

haha thats what i'm hoping to squeeze in there...we'll see though

 

There are a ton of threads on the matter for 2nd gen, which have basically the same setup back there, so I'm not totally worried. But boy is it close!

 

That's good to know, gives me hope. I was thinking it was really going to be a shot in the dark.

 

I fit my BFG A/T KO2 285/70/17 underneath but it was resting against the exhaust pipe. I had a muffler shop move the pipe over a couple inches so the tire will fit without touching the exhaust

 

That's good to hear, gives me hope that i'll be able to squeeze it in there.

 

How much did the shop charge ya to move the exhaust?

 

I believe it was about $35, didn't take very long. They just cut the pipe after the muffler and bent the pipe to a better angle. Than they welded on new hangers .

 

I finally moved my 285/70r17 duratrac spare out of the bed.

Good news:

The feet that people usually complain about didn't require any cutting or hammering, and the spare is almost an inch off the diff, so no problems there. I made sure to pull toward the bumper as I finished winching it up.

Bad news:

Same story as @DarthMinnow , it is crammed tightly between the driver-side leaf bushing mount and the exhaust on the passenger-side. Definitely cannot be a medium/long-term solution without getting an exhaust reroute or chop.

I know people have run with theirs resting on the exhaust and it will eventually damage the tread in that spot, so if you're not worried too much about it then don't worry too much about it

 

Bump. Anyone throw a 285/75/16 or 70/17 with an aftermarket exhaust like the

$890 Magnaflow 19291 : Cat-Back, Street Series, For 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma 3.5L, 73.7" Bed Length, Extended Cab, 60.5" Bed Length, Crew Cab, Single Passenger Side Rear Exit

Magnaflow 19291? I assume the same exhaust pipe issue or worse since I think the cat back is a bigger diameter pipe?

 

You would run into the same problems as a stock exhaust since an aftermarket one uses the same hanger locations.

 

Is the hanger location the issue or the actual piping touching the tire? It's cold in the garage and I'm already in bed or I'd try to take a peek myself lol

 

It is the pipe location mainly. You just have to cut the pipe after the muffler. Than bend the pipe and weld it back on. The shop I did it all left about an inch between my 285/70/17 tire and the exhaust pipe.

 

what's everybody running as far as a wheel goes for their spare? I've got on offroad but switched to 285/70/17 my spare is on a 16" wheel. I'm trying to find a spare 17" so that i can run a full size spare underneath

 

I run a matching aftermarket wheels only so I can use the same lugs.

 

I run some oddball cheap aftermarket rim for my second spare

 

That's something I forgot to consider. What size are you running and where do you keep it at? Do you have a rear bumper tire swingout set up or is it in stock location?

 

what size tire/wheels are you running? and do you keep it in the stock location?
