    I had a 255/80/17 in the spare tire location but that was with the OEM steel spare wheel.

    The three biggest things you have to watch out for are:
    - Matching the outside diameter of the tire to OEM specs
    - Making sure the wheel diameter is as large or larger than the minimum wheel size for your truck - to clear the front brakes
    - Matching the diameter of the wheel center hole so your support bar fits through it

    Will this fit in the spare location with a 255/75/17. Really need this wheel over a steel wheel as I hope to do a caliper upgrade.
