Spare Tire Sizes

I did find that on second generation Tacomas you are able to run a larger size spare tire. Is this true with third gens? I'm wanting to carry a full size 285/75R18 spare but am unsure if it will fit on this new truck.

 

good question. I've seen others say it carries a full size spare so you have
a good chance this may fit.

 

Comes with a full sizes spare

 

For stock tire sizes, yes it does come with a full size spare. For those running larger tires, it does not come with a full size spare. Thanks.

 

Good question: will a 285 fit as a spare?

 

Depending on the exhaust hanger mount location, the diff and trailer harness, if its the same as the 2nd gen you should be able to fit a 33'' tire by bending or cutting the brackets. I did on my 11 and 15.

 

Anyone have pictures of fitting a 285/70? Only pictures Ive seen are way too close to the diff

 

If you do it right wont even come close to the dif, its the exhaust that is close. See my thread:
