Spare tire size?

[TAZMAN]

Have done some research but wondered if anyone has installed a 35 Falken Wildpeak on Method standards under their truck in the factory spare tire location? If so what issues if any did you have? I want my spare tire to match my others.

A long as it's a 35" tire you'll be fine putting it under te truck it's when you start getting a larger tire is when it doesn't fit haha 37's definitely don't fit under the truck

I appreciate the input. I will order another wheel and tire to match.

I almost traded the Raptor yesterday for a new F250 Diesel. I was concerned about it holding it's value but I have a 2013 Duramax so I will just keep it and update the suspension. I've had it 8 months and put 2700 miles on it. I did finally put it in the deep mud and it performed flawless. Took 2 days with a power washer and my wife and I under the truck with washmits to clean it up and wax it. That sucked!!

Will Methods fit in the stock spare location? Never tried it myself.

I have a 17" NV and Goodyear duratac 315/70/17 under my 2011 Screw.

I sure hope so, I just ordered the wheel and tire. I could just get off my lazy butt and go pull one and try it but what fun would that be. If it doesn't fit then I can explain to the wife we need to get the bed mount system. I use the bed so I was trying to avoid that.

Yea methods will fit trey! The wheel doesn't matter as long as it's 35" the offset it size of the wheel doesn't have any affect on putting the spare under the truck.

Thanks guys, I don't post here a great deal but I read a lot of what goes on. I don't have a need for it but I think the suspension may get upgraded in the near future. I would like to keep building on it but we rarely drive it since I have a company car.

There is someone here in central Indiana that lifted a Crew Cab Terrain Raptor like mine. I haven't seen it yet but I have heard about it. Must be a custom lift based off the height people are describing but who knows.

Just as an update, I installed the wheel and tire combination last night after putting a good coat of wax on the wheel. I also used black tape to insulate the center mount from scratching the wheel in any way. I don't see any issues with the mounting location but I don't think you could mount anything bigger.

Just got to mount the WSI springs and install the 5 star tuner. They should be here on Saturday.
