2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission 285 Spare Tire fit ?

Will a 285-75-16 fit the spare tire holder?

On a longbed it will go up fairly easily. On a shortbed it is a lot tighter. My 285 spare is MAYBE 25% tread left and it is wedged up into the frame rails pretty hard. Mine is also on a 6. 5" wheel so it is a tad taller than most 285's on an 8" wheel. You may need to loosen the exhuast clamps and rotate the tailpipe to make a little extra room but it should fit.

yes. it will fit. I have a spare 285-75-16 with 96% tread, and it fits perfectly. the 4" pipe is close to it, but it is ok. no problemos!

Yep, just BARELY. I have a new 285-75R 16 Walmart Liberator spare. That is the absolutely largest size you will fit in there. I had to experiement while I was at Walmart but it does fit.

I got a 305/70/16 spare to fit on my truck, but it's only got about 25% left.
