Sort of on the idea that Sparky mentioned, I have aftermarket wheels with different offsets and larger than stock tires, so the spare presented a similar problem for me. I chose not to waste money on a matching spare just to stuff it underneath (I also live in the salty northeast). Since the stock was no longer correctly sized, I don’t even carry it at all which saves weight back there. If I was into serious off-roading, I’d have a rear carrier, or rooftop mount anyway as it’s not very practical crawling under the truck to get the spare in most off road situations anyway. If I get a flat, I’ll use my AAA card to get it flatbedded home or to a tire shop where I can fix it easier/safer anyway so I don’t even bother having one at all. Depending on your needs/use this may or may not be a practical option for you...
