Does anyone know if you can get a 265 x 70 R 17 tire in the spare tire cradle under the truck

Thanks

Depending on differences of tread depth between brands, the 265 tire is only 0.56" taller than a 255 tire (assuming that is the OEM tire you're replacing).

Check your truck to see if the space will accommodate a tire of less than an inch larger diameter or, as an alternative, maintian the OEM tire as is...it's only a spare. It won't hurt to run it in an emergency with three slightly larger tires as companions.

 

Yes...You can....My 2001 4x4 has the spare that size under there and it fits without a problem...265/70/17"...

 

I've got a BFG AT 285/70R17 under there. Fits just fine.

 

Thanks Guys for the info:

I had bought a set of Michelin LTX MS (265 70 R 17) a couple of weeks ago-- but only got four. (these guys measure 31.8" Diameters).

I picked up the new spare last night, and got it up in the spare tire cradle.

There was plenty of room in the cradle... about 2 inches clearance all the way around! Looks like you could get up to a 33" diameter under there.

Thanks again,
