    If i have a 20x9 in 33x12.5r20 and i wanted a spare, but id rather not spend another 700 for a single matching wheel and tire, what size tire should i go if i opt for a 17x9 wheel instead?

    Thanks

    Honestly just use the spare that came with the truck. As long as you fix that tire/wheel asap you wont damage anything major

    i dont think the full size spare will fit the front with the lift kit due to backspacing

    prerunner spindle drop problems....

    buy a single wheel spacer n call it good. Or if you happen to get a flat on the front, move a good tire to the front, and put the standard rim spare on the back.

    That spacer is an option, but if i go 18x9, would a 33x12.5r18 tire fit ok
