Seems like I read someone had gotten a 295/65-20 to fit, but I'm not 100% positive. I can tell you that a 37" will not fit -- I'm in the process of making a rack to bolt into my bed to hold one. Here's the basic premise. I built it out of PVC to make sure it worked before I bent it up in 1.75" tube.

35 x 12.5 x 20 fits just fine with room to "spare"

I bought a basic tire and wheel, to save money.

I too, store my Nitto RG 35/12,5./R20 mounted in a spare 20x8" Ford Limited Alloy underneath and it fits just fine.

How much is a take-off 20”

The stock spare wheel is an 18”. How much should I expect to pay for an alloy 20” take-off?

What size is the stock spare on the 20 inch wheel trucks? Saves me climbing under this thing on a gravel driveway.

Will an RG 285/75/18 fit? Same height as the 295/65/20 and shouldn't hang down much.

If it's like mine, you have the wrong spare. I already went a few rounds with Ford and the dealership where I purchased the truck and they will not change the spare. Ford's answer is "while we do provide a spare wheel and tire, the one provided does not necessarily have to fit/match the vehicle". In other words, If you have 20" wheels on the truck, most likely you have a 18" wheel as a spare and when you do the math, the spare tire is an inch shorter and runs about 3 inches of less travel in one rotation. Ford says to only use it in an emergency with very limited range. I purchased a spare 20" wheel and another matching tire to go with the others on the truck.

LT275/65R20 = 34.1"
LT275/70R18 = 33.2"

In regards to what will fit, One member here says he put a 37" under his truck but I would need to search back over the last month or so as that is where I had read the post.

Edit - I found the post and the guy says he has a 37" under his 2011 truck.

I found reman takeoffs are around 300 give or take and there are some that sell off-brand for around 240 or so. You might find them cheaper if you find someone that came with 20s but they changed out to another style of wheel.

Ah ok, yeah I saw its an 18 inch. Its the standard 18 inch goodyear AT then.


I will have to remember to order in a 285/75/18 RG next time I get my tires rotated. Can test fit it.


Would be a good idea incase of a long roadtrip especially while towing, wouldn’t slow you down any.

Is the space the same for a spare tire on a 250 and 350?
