biggest size spare you can fit under t4r

someones gonna yell at you about searching, but its been discussed before.. yes it will. unless you try a 285 duratrac (larger than the average 285)
 
ya i did do the search but maybe not well enough ...and damn i was thinking about getting the duratracs

If you want goodyear duratracs, go ahead and get them. Don't stress too much about the brand name of your spare tire. I went to a used tire shop and got an old firestone a/t tire for 35 bucks mounted OTD. It's all about personal taste I guess, just offering my 2 cents.
 
Or just get a spare duratrac that is 265 instead of 285. My 2 cents as well.

thats good news
 
I also had a 285/70R17 Goodyear MT/R under my '12 TE, but won't recommend the MT/R. Duratracs or the BFG KM2 would the the way to go
 
I threw one of my 285 Duratracs underneath on the oem spare wheel.

While I run 285/70 17's I elected to go with a 255/80 17 for the spare. Thanks to Harper7 for the idea. It has essentially the same diameter as the 285 but it's thinner therefore keeping it from hanging down/out as far as the wider 285. Just a preference thing I guess.

So the 285 duratrac fits? I just picked up a set this weekend and was checking out the clearance and the stock tire looks like it only has less than 1/2 inch room before the hitch? I have a 2015....I wonder if there is less room.
 
Silly question here, but any chance the regular 2015 TE rim (non spare) would fit down there?
Assuming it does cuz that's where the one with a flat would go but just need to be sure..
