Default 99 LT Spare Question

Sorry everyone tried finding this question but can not find any answers. Have a 99 blazer LT 4WD. When we bought the Blazer it did not have a spare tire, I am trying to figure if a full size rim and tire will fit under in the hoist. If so if someone knows the size of the rim that would be great help.

Thanks

My 99 has a 235/70R15 hanging under the rear bumper. A 235/75R15 might also fit as it is only 1" larger in diameter but I know that a 30/9.5R15 which is 2" larger in diameter than the 235/70R15 does not.

Thanks Christine, if you have a 235/70 which is a full size, means can get an full rim and mount a reg tire vs a donut tire. Son just got the Blazer loves think we found a good deal as only has 51K miles on it and is in good shape. But as stated missing spare and would prefer he have a full size tire vs a donut tire.
Thanks again.

yes Christine is correct. I have a 235 75 15 under my cable system on a 4 x 4 rim on my 99 bravada with the factory tow package. it's a barely squeeze but it pulls all the way up tight. my all-wheel drive demands exact tire size is all the way around. I think I was more surprised that my cable system still works LOL.

Wish ours still worked just ordered a new hoist cable system to install. Looked in junkyards but most were trashed decided not worth the hassle if will now lower when your stuck on the road changing a flat. So bought new.

Just to second that a full size wheel/tire will fit. Currently have a 255/70-15 under there, same size as all four. Does require angling the tire when cranking it up.

Only 51k miles!!!....that is a FIND!!...but does not exist without some pictures.....
