    Can someone tell me you can fit 265/75/16 on the spare? Will it fit and release properly or does it need to go in the bed. Mahalo!

    I did flip the tire, but assume the plate to protect the tire will be ok. I did it on a 2nd Gen and it was fine and I live in the desert.

    Just did this today. Should run into any issues. After reading some responses in here I’m going to flip mine tomorrow for valve stem access
