I'm switching over to new tires, so I'm looking to see if one of my old 33x10.5 tires can fit on the spare tire's rim. Currently they fit on my 8" wide rims with no problem, however I have no idea of the width of my spare tire's rim.

I am not yet set on doing this, I'm first going to see if (with some trimming) I can get a 33" tire in my stock spare tire location.

 

i think the spare is a 7" wide which would be fine ive seen people mount 12.50s on 7s

 

yes you can i have a 33x12.5 on a spare rim 15x7 and it will be fine but it will wear weird

Thanks guys.

Cody, if I have to worry about wear on a spare tire, then I'm doing something wrong -I hope never to have to use it.

 

i still have one of John's old coopers for my spare on the stock spare rim... not sure if i can even use it though with the spindles

 

Billy, I have one of John's old 35" tires as well, but that's on the Bronco. I am going to replace that with one of the 33's too, because it doesn't hold much air. I'd rather have a spare tire 2" smaller then a flat one.
