When you guys go up in tire size, what do you do with your spare.

Have 33"s on the truck now but still have my stock spare and rim. First time I actually lowered it down from the bed was last week and after 7 years it's in pretty rough shape. Obviously I can't use it with my tires but was wondering what to do with it.

Thanks.

 

I run smaller than stock. Spare is on the front porch.

 

i run 35's and i put a 35" tire on my spare. I drive long distances from the beach, to the mountains, and through the desert to the lake. I'd hate to wait for AAA to tow me to a tire shop so i can order a tire because you know they won't stock a 35. That whole ordeal would cost me at least 3 days.

I had to do some modifications to fit the 35" spare, but it's up there in the stock location. I had to modify the brackets that hold the tire and widen my exhaust. I also had to move around some brake lines and run wire a different route, but all in all it worked out nicely.

 

I run 22's and purchased a 20" wheel and found a great used tire to mount to it. $300 bucks for a new spare wheel/tire combo. I just thought it was a good idea to run a wheel/tire combo closer to the size i am running daily. But thats just me.

 

When I got my second exhaust the shop ran it and "hugged" the stock spare. I realized this after the fact so I figured I would just keep it in the bed for now.

I guess I'll need to find a cheap wheel and tire

 

on my old silverado i ran 33s so i just took the spare off... just try to stay close to home lol
