So... what size tire fits in the spare well?

Changed the front differential, rear and transfer case oil today (Amsoil 75/90 extreme duty) as well as the engine oil and rotated the tires. As I was laying under the back admiring the relatively rust free state of things, I began to wonder what size spare will fit under there. Any one have experience with a bigger tire down there???

 

I have a 305/70R16 BFGoodrich KM2 stuffed under there

 

I don't have an answer but that's a good question, I have a 2015 LBDC limited with 18" wheels, I wonder what spare I have, have to look tomorrow, I can at least report on 18" spares, I have a 2005 and 2015 both with 18"
what size wheels you rolling?

 

Does this count? 315/75/16

 

Just the stock ties at this point. Will be going bigger once I get the lift done. Those are some big "stuffs"! Wow.

 

The metal tabs that hold the tire from moving around, can modified (ie bent) outwards to accommodate a larger tire than stock..I just don't know how far they are able to go. I've only got stock 265/65-17s on my Tacoma right now so l can't say for sure.

 

Just stuffed a 285/70/17 up under mine today. Didn’t modify the tabs. Driver side touches the shackle hanger. Passenger side is about 1/2” from the heat shield on the tailpipe. Back side is about 1/2” from the hitch.

Tire only has 6/32nd tread on it. It it was a new tire, it would damn near be resting on the exhaust.

I may attempt to bend the exhaust hanger mounts to get a little more clearance.
