Default Size of stock spare, or the biggest one I can put underneath.

I am going to be moving from Cali to VA soon and am going to have to pack my truck with a bunch of my stuff, including my bike. That means the spare is taking up a lot of space in the bed of my truck. I'd like to not have to strap it to my hood and put it where it belongs.

dodgeramit, is your 285 mounted under the bed? I have 285s on my truck but my spare is 265, I want a full size spare but wasnt sure it would fit.

I have a 285 under my bed. And its badly messed up. Like the previous owner didn't torque it down all the way for about 7 years. Tread is all screwed up.

I need a new one.
But it does fit though, but its tight.
