Bought my used '97 4x4 without a spare. I hate driving without one. Where can I get a stock size spare (265/17)? Local boneyards are no help, and the dealer...well...ouch.
You could also try looking for a 265/75 on a 16" rim. That would have the same diameter as any 265/70R17. The main concern is actual tire diameter, not wheel diameter. Just another option.
I second that. I have 33/12.5/17 tires on my truck and bought a 16x8 wheel with a 285/75/16 Cooper tire as a spare backup. Basically due to cost reasons. You won't have any problems with a 16" rim.
I recently had a tire go down on my screw. I replaced it with the matching spare and went to Pep Boys and picked up one of those 10,000 mi cheap tires to use as a spare. I think I paid around $70.
