so i recently installed a 6" lift, and 35x12.5x17 " tires and new wheels. obviously my old spare wont fit anymore so what should I do? I guess I should buy a used 35" tire and a crappy wheel but I dont know where to put it. im not really crazy about taking up half of my bed with a spare rack(and I dont have the funds).I red that you can put the stock spare on as long as its in the front. but still I dont like the sound of that.

I already looked at the other post about this topic from awhile ago but it didnt get very popular so I still dont have all of my answers

 

Your t popular answer is going to be keeping the original and use it when you need to ONLY in the front as mentioned. A 35" spare is not going to fit underneath. You'll have to keep it in the bed.

This is a scenario where you really have to play the odds! What are the odds you'll have a flat tire?? What are the odds you'll leave a spare on (if you do have a flat) more than a few miles/more than a day or so to replace the flat??

Those are EXTREEEEEEEMELY remote odds. You're gonna buy a 35" tire and soak up all that bed space based on those odds??

 

Dude, get the TireGate prerunner series. SO SICK. I have seen them on numerous trucks and they are so dope. They don't take up much room and you still have the practicality of a bed without taking up so much space. I would get one but I have a shell on my truck so it wouldn't work out very well.

Also, I think it would look extra sexy on your truck since you have a pre runner look to your truck.

 

hmmm how much do they run?

 

Are you sure a 35 inch tire won't fit in the stock location on the 04-08 trucks? A 35 will fit in the stock spare location on the 97-03's unless you have a custom or aftermarket exhaust in the way. Take a look under your truck and see how much room you have.

 

They're like 900 bucks.

Iirc I think someone has fit a 35" tire under the bed. I fit one under my 98 but the frame rails are wider apart on the obs like I had

 

I don't know how much they are, but, if they are $900 then forget it!

I'd rather make one myself!

Ditch the spare and put a train horn setup in its place

 

Where I live no ons has these. What is the appeal? Saw one on a truck and that's cause he was from Texas. Just to be loud and obnoxious?

 

I'm pretty sure a nice worn 35 will fit in the stock spare location. May have to be on a stock size wheel though.

 

hmm, well I have aftermarket exhaust
ill take a look before I go to work

 

discount tire fitted a 35 on my old 05 but it was stuck up there and could never get it to come down

 

Hey now let's not bash on Texas people train horns are awesome... Plain and simple

 

A 35" tire should fit, but it will be tight. I put a 33" tire under there with room left.
