largest spare that can be mounted under the bed? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My truck does not have a spare tire mount but classic industries has the under-bed brackets and mount in stock. Before I spend the money though does anyone know the largest size tire that can be mounted down there? I would need one about 32" in diameter.

My original spare tire is a 7.50-16. It is mounted under the bed and is 32" diameter. All stock.

Ditto that for mine. I can only see a possible problem with a wider tire & wheel.

I have the stock spare tire bracket on my truck and have been trying to mount an 80's 15 x 8 rally wheel with a235/75r15 tires on it and the pieces that stick up and are supposed to push against the rim edge aren't wide enough apart to that rim on.
