First, I've got my spare on the inside of my truck, and currently, it's pretty much useless since I've got my 30s

But, today, I tested the interior spare location, and you can infact fit a 30x9.5" tire... BARELY. I didn't try putting the tire cover back on, but the 30" tire, on the spiffy normal rim fits... It presses against the seat, but doesn't move it noticably forward (could be because my sub box is pressed against it too) and it clears the glass by 1/4" or so... Tailgate closes perfectly, and spare tire can be bolted down using the factory holder.

 

I notcied my 30x9.5 fit inside very tightly, I was gonna reloacte the spare to the inside but found a swingarm cheaper then the tire hold downs.

 

I'm just happy that I can get a spare tire that I can use... The donut looks really pitiful beside a 30" tire, lol.

 

I only use full size spares, but by full size I mean matching the other tires. I have no faith is a tire that says " for temp use only" something about that doesnt sit well with me.

 

Same here...

I hate the donuts, lol.

I'll have to start shopping for a rim now, lol.
