Spare Tire Size?
 
What is the best size spare tire to fit up under the truck with stock support, and what is the going rate for a 6 lug split rim these days?

Man,a 6-lug split rim is rare,yet I doubt worth much to anyone except the guy with the other 3:lol:.I`d say a 235/75x15 would be a good fit.That size in 16" fits the 3/4t trucks and the carriers are the same.The 16" is taller,but any size bigger in a 15" will get fatter.

I have a 235 75R 15 spare in the tire carrier under my '71 C-10 and it fits ok.

This all sounds good as long as you dont have a posi, or locker in the rear. If so you will need the same size tire as what is on the truck for a spare as a different size will eat up your rear with the above mentioned.

Not for me. Just know a guy who needs 1 to make a set. I wouldn't go near one.

Just need to remove caps and rotate at that point.

When I was in CA,my friend had a`57 shortbed that was 8-lug with 15" split rims,original.Just thought I`d throw that in on the split rim talk.That`s a rare bird,either way.What is the vehicle this rim is for?
