What size is the spare steelie?

Is it 16 or 15 inches? Thanks!

 

16 x 7" if I'm not mistaken, but 16" for sure on a 6 lug.

 

Gotta be 16 or you'd screw up the transfer case possibly. It is 15 on the 5 lug, steel wheel

 

Stock spare is going to be the same size as your stock wheels. If you have 17" sport wheels stock, then your spare will be a 17" steel rim. If you have 16" OR wheels, then the spare will be 16" as well, and with the same stock tire. Make sense?

 

I figured, just wasnt sure, thought maybe a donut on there or something. Thanks, at work and its raining so didnt want to climb up under there right now.

 

It's not that hard to lay under your truck and look?

 

15" wheels don't fit on 6-lug trucks.

 

Hmm, wasn't thinking about the sport 17", so yeah, what he said.

 

When there's snow outside, its now raining outside and your in uniform, not the best idea to lay on a dirty, snow covered asphalt parking lot.

 

I thought the same thing but on my dads 2013 Sierra Denali it has 20" rims with a 18" spare. I thought that was messed up but his buddies ford has 20" wheels with a diff spare size also.

 

So are they all the same if 16"? Width, style?
What color are they, never thought to look, was going to use the tires on the spares for the wifes truck, have a 2011, 16" steel, and 2012 16" alloy.
If the rims are the same as her steel and the grey color then I will not need to pull them, just program the TPS.

 

The driveline only cares about the outside diameter of the tire, not the wheel size.

I mean if you look at the overall sizing of the TRD OR tires versus the TRD Sport tires, they're identical, even if the wheel sizes are different. (265/70-16 vs 265/65-17). The overall radius of the tire is 15.3", and the overall diameter is 30.6". The SR5 uses a 245/75-16 which is 15.2"/30.5" respectively, which doesn't fall outside of the realm of tire wheel.

I mean, you could conceivably run a 14" wheel on a Tacoma (neglecting brake clearance) with a 265/80-14 tire and be at 15.3"/30.7".

 

True the normal 5 lug are 15" 2WD.
But they are using smaller lighter, thinner tires and rims that may not match the rim size or width but the total height is the same so not as to mess up anything.

 

They should be at that size, but double check the numbers on the side of the tire..for trucks that came factory with 20" tires there seems to be a difference in the spare size.

 

I thought the same thing but on my fathers truck the overall diameter is no where close.

 

You will only see that for a dealer instal tire option thing.
They change all but the spare, I have run into that in the past.
Past on a yota that had them, the spare was smaller factory and the tires were larger not much but 18" and plus 1 or 2....

 

I agree...I think the real problem is you cannot put a tire that big under the box of the truck. It's the equivelent of hanging a 32 or 33 inch under our trucks...it just won't fit.

 

A 33 will fit under our trucks (2nd Gen) with slight modding of brackets. Just did it today, following others advice.

 

I understand with mods it will fit ...but we are talking about a new factory truck.

 

Roger, gotcha.
