Spare Tire Question

Just acquired a 2012 F250. The stock tires are 31s. I would like to go up to 33s or maybe even 35s by next spring. I am wondering about the spare tire. Is there room , in the stock mounting area, for a 33 or 35? If not, what other arrangements have you guys with bigger tires made for carrying an oversize spare? Thanks.


Regards
John

The stock tires on my 2012 F250 are LT275/70R18E 125/122R which is 33.2 inches in diameter.
And yes, the full size spare fits underneath with room to "spare"...

You've got 18 inch rims - I've got 17s. Good to know there's enough room for the 33s. Thanks.

Yeah, I listed the actual size since, strictly speaking, they aren't "33s", but are still 33 inches in diameter...
