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?

Re: Spare Tire Size?
Man,a 6-lug split rim is rare,yet I doubt worth much to anyone except the guy with the other 3
 .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.

Re: Spare Tire Size?
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.

Re: Spare Tire Size?
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?
