Spare tire WARNING

[HSKR R/T]

So a 275/65/18 tire will work/fit fine on the steel temporary rim?

Why wouldn't it?

Everyone gets the same spare unless you get an TRX with that offroad package thing.

Not true.

There are steel wheel spares or aluminum wheel spares. I have a steel wheel factory spare.

 

[Darksteel165]

Not true

Who gets a real spare then?

Who gets a real spare then?

The ORP group trucks get full size real spare tire. But my spare tire was on a steel wheel. Not 100% sure what option decides if you get the temp spare tire, aluminum wheel, steel wheel, or real full size spare tire, other than the ORG group.

This was one of the reasons I order the ORP, along with the e-locker, tow hooks, and +1" ride height. Mine came with steel wheel and Falken tire.

If you have 18" wheels from the factory, then yes. The spare tire wheel is 18". If you have factory 20" wheels, you will have to find an equivalent outside diameter tire for the 18" spare, ore buy a matching 20" wheel. I have a matching 20" Built to Serve wheel with a 34" tire on it under my bed

 

[SShadow1974]

Ummm... Is what you are saying that if you have 20" rims and do NOT have the ORP, you have an 18" spare? Does the tire size on that 18" spare make the spare an equivalant size to 275/55/R20?

 

[Darksteel165]

You always get the same spare unless you get the ORG or a TRX. Even my Limited with 22s came with an 18 inch painted aluminum spare.

I understand that, but is that 18" rim wrapped in a tire that has the same diameter of a 275/55/20? Because if it doesn't, running that spare is going to cause issues with the speed sensors because that wheel will not spin at the same speed as the rest of your wheels... Which basically makes that spare useless.

Yes, the spare should have a tire equivalent to the diameter of whatever the regular tires are.

Not only will the spare not be the correct size, if you take it out and look at it, it has temp threads. It's not even a regular tire. I believe it's rated for 55mpg top and 50 miles of use before it's trash.
I used the rim and mounted a half tread Silverado tire to the wheel and it's within 1% of my 22s diameter.
You shouldn't be driving around on a spare unless you need it, and the one they give you will work
Use a tire diameter calculator and get a used tire and get it mounted and balenced, or even find a wheel/tire locally and replace the spare if you want.

I ordered my 2024 Laramie G/T with the $0 optional 5-spoke 20x9" wheels and 275/55R20 Bridgestone Deuler H/Ls.
My spare is an aluminum 18x7.5" 12-spoke wheel with a 245/70R18 GoodYear Radial Spare..looks like half tread.
A quick Giggle search shows this tire has 5/32 tread and 31.5" height.
I imagine this aluminum wheel wouldn't have any issues with the OEM lugs.

It will fit your truck, it's just a differnet size wheel is all. For temp use it's 100% fine.
I had a spare tire so I swapped mine out so now if needed I can use it and drive normal.

thanks! I do have the 18in rims and im looking at a take off spare tire from craigslist for $50 to swap onto the spare rim so its useful if im stranded while towing.

This is the 18” spare that came with my ORG BackCountry. Blew a tire 3 1/2 miles from the nearest paved road. Drove on the flat till I got to high ground. Fun times.

The factory scissor jack sucks on soft ground. Lesson learned. Always pack essential tools to do the job.
