Spare tire size

Can I fit a 33" spare tire under the truck in the stock location? I'm guessing one of my 33x12.5s won't fit on the stock spare wheel...

I know it will fit on stock wheels, didn't know if the spare was as wide as the stock wheels.

But it won't fit in the spare tire carrier of a 1/2 ton.. I couldn't even get a 31" into mine.

When I got my tires a couple of months ago, I bought five 31.10.15's and the spare fit fine.

If anything needs to be done, just get longer hardware from a F25/F350. Or cut and sleeve in pieces of tubing to lengthen the hardware.

I though his question will it fit? And Yes a 33" tire does fit up in there, hell my 35 ALMOST fits
