Spare tire question

I had 16” rims in my truck, and I switch to 17” 4Runner rims. I want a 17” spare tire. Will a 17” 4Runner spare tire/rim fit underneath (spare tire holder) on my 2009 Tacoma?

Thanks in advance

 

It should if youre running factory tire size. The rim wouldnt be a problem as much as the tire size will. But ive seen people fit 33" tires under there too so it can be done

 

My original tire size was 245/70/16 and I’m looking to going to a 265/70/17 spare

 

Everything will fit fine

 

Yes it will.....or should I say "should fit".

To be more specific, the rim you are going to use will work fine. If the tire you put on that rim is larger in diameter than a 265/70/17, you may have to gently modify the spare tire retainer tabs with a BFH (big fucking hammer). I say gently, because it's easy to over do this modification and end up with your spare wedged between your rear diff and the truck bed. This severely impacts the articulation of your suspension and the smoothness of the truck's ride.

 

Hey Tex that’s a great idea with the air hose! Thanks for directing me to the links.

Pigpen, Would that be considered air ride then? Ha ha. Thanks for the info!
