I ran into this even on my 97 taco when a tire shop talked me into only changing the rear tires. Could not shift into 4WD on the fly and if put in 4WD bad noises and handling. I've not yet tried putting a stock spare on my 4th gen to see how angry it will get since with the v8 I have no 2WD option.

Went with a good patch kit and compressor, Hope to go years w/o needing the spare. Will likely get a 5th TRDPro rim and "full sized" spare on next tire purchase then figure out where to mount the larger than stock spare.

How does only changing the rear tires affect the ability to shift into 4wd? And why would the spare rub during turns? Isnt your spare a full size spare? Unless you lowered your car, why would it rub? I am probably missing something, but just curious.
