Will a 265/70r16 tire fit for the spare under the truck without hammering?

I upsized to 265/70r16 Toyo tires a while back and didn’t change the spare, just wondering if anyone has done this without hammering under the truck to make the bigger tire fit and how close is it to the exhaust?

 

The overall diameter will be the limit.

I don't know if the spare tire storage is different for the models. My truck has stock 17" wheels with 265/65/17s. Spare is same size, it fits in the under bed location.

 

Neat, thanks everyone. Time to buy my 5th tire.

 

It will fit 100%

265/70R16 is the stock size for the TRD models. They have the same carrier.

 

Waste of money.

You may never get a flat, and if you did, even a spare doughnut would get you home.

 

I think trd models have that size for a spare. Need to crawl under mine again but pretty sure its 265 65 17.

 

LOL Wrong!!!

 

Wrong. I got a flat just a few weeks after purchase of my truck when I tore my rear tires side wall on a curb, and had to use my spare tire. A full spare is necessary under the bed to balance the front end weight, and help some with the under steer.

 

Actually it is a waste of money, his spare is 245/75R16, its the same diameter as the 265/70R16.

OP just buy four tires.

 

My mistake. I thought OP was asking if a 265/70r16 spare tire fits. I upgraded to 33's and hammered to bend the spare tire brackets to sit mine in snug and tight under the bed.

 

Yes, it will fit. I run 265/75/16 Toyo Open Country M/T's and have this tire & size under my truck as my spare...it fits perfectly with no issues at all.
