32" (265/75/16) spare tyre does it fit- yes

[dexterboy]

Ok searched but couldn't find a direct answer so

I have 16 inch genuine alloys on the MN and I suppose it is a 16X7 Steel spare slung underneath

My question is if I fit 265 x75 x 16 Mud Hogs to my vehicle and then want the spare the same will it in that size fit the steel spare and still go underneath the vehicle ?

Thanks

I run a bf Goodrich A/t 265 70 16 as a spare. It fits.

Thanks does it fit under the vehicle like normal is that what you mean

Can get tight if u have exhaust too. Mine rubs slightly with 265/75 BFG KM2 mounted in factory steel. But does fit in original space.

I had a 265/75 16 Cooper ST Maxx fitted to steel spare and it fitted ok. Did hang a little lower but other than that not noticeable. But mine is an ML.

I'm now looking for another tyre as a second spare as i have got myself another alloy, any recommendations??

[Chill]

I managed to fit 285/75R16 under there but modified the exhaust a little. All good

It will physically fit.
BUT.......if you have it on a steel rim the centre hole of the steelie will be larger than the alloy wheel.
Hence the little thing on the end of the chain of the spare wheel holder, that fits the centre hole of the rim, will be to small.
Some people have made a spacer for it.
Or fit an spare wheel mechanism off an MK triton......they have a bigger centre hole.
The MK triton one will bolt straight up.

He's talking factory steely (from what I can read) so no change required there

Might pay to double check rim width though. My ML was a 6.5" steel spare (from memory) and tyre fitters didn't want to put 265's on it.

I didn't read the original post properly.

Yes I put 265/75/16 on the MN steel spare. Fitted Cooper ST Maxx and the diameter was 811mm I think and it fitted comfortably with enough room on both sides to avoid rubbing on anything.

[dexterboy]

Thanks all great answers hints and help

[Bigbirdalx]

Mine duellar 697. 265/75/16 fits on the spare and is hanging undee there

[skilbys]

Thanks for helping me though Matty,
Still driving around without a spare until I can get a spacer made,
but I will keep an I out for an MK one now

[Cowboy Dave]

I found with a 265/70/17 muddie that it was a pretty tight fit - you have to keep an eye on the spring hanger on the passenger side and the exhaust on the driver's side. I found if I sat at the back with my feet out in front of me I could hold the tyre where I wanted it with my feet as I winched it up the final little bit.

I have my 34" spare under Neath with no issues! On a 16x8 0 offset rim

g'day guys,

had a quick look on forum, for those who 285x75 tyres on their triton's how did you go with mounting the tyre under the car in the current spare wheel location? ive had a llok and the space is very limited (diff, leaf springs & tow bar).

thanks.
