265/75/16 won't fit under the spare area?
A few months ago, someone scraped my driver side rear tire and rim. Their insurance managed to re-surfaced my rim and got me a new tire. So I asked the shop to replace my stock 265/70/16 spare tire with the 265/75/16 lightly scraped Terra grappler. That way I'll have all 5 tires the same size.
However, the shop said they tried and the 265/75/16 won't fit under there. I searched and many have fitted even with tow hitch, mine don't have a hitch.
Do I need to air it down to make it fit? Or this shop is not honest that they didn't even try. Thanks.

Hahah...wow...yeah it should fit! I use a 33x10.50 as a spare underneath (biggest tire that can fit for me).... a 265/75 should be fine.

I found out when I bought my used 4runner that it had 265/75/r16 Dakota Definity, but no spare (stupid me), so when it came to getting one that thought did cross my mind. 4runner V6 with hitch, no mods below and when I got me the Bridgestone Dueler with factory spare rim, aired to recommended PSI (not max), it fit with no problems.
I agree about tire brands' varying size measurements, some by a good 1". I also agree with shop laziness - more incentive to DIY.
