I dont know why anyone doesn't do this, but, just turn your wheels over to a side and inspect how much clearance you have between the caliper and the inside of the wheel.
Mine came with ABS and 16", with my 16" black steelies I have about .75" of clearance around the calipers. I wouldn't be able to fit any 15" rims most likely.
It only takes 5 seconds and no one ever seems to think of this?!

i am getting a retreaded spare in the 285/75/16. drew (shotking) found a link for some, and they are only about $95 delivered. perfect for a spare.
and for the location, i have no idea yet. hopefully there is room underneat for it. if not, then i am thinking about asking eric to custom make some sort of mount using the existing rack.

I would go custom rack, on the roof or something
I have my full size spare in the back of my truck inside the tailgate, simple but works, maybe do something like that with a hold down or something

do not use the existing rack for a tire, it wont hold it.. those crossbars are REALLY weak plastic.

as for a spare, I bet that is fine a retread, however pepboys have semi aggressive off road tires in that same size for 100 bucks,,,I priced them out as that is what I am going to run once I do my body lift and spring time modifcation spree

i wouldnt trust my tire or the life of the person behind me to the strength of plastic stock crossbars.
