I was wondering if I could fit a bigger spare tire under my X? I have 31's on my truck, but I still have a small spare. And if not a 31, what is the biggest tire size I can fit under there?

Thanks

Adam

some have fit 31s partially deflated under theirs..... i think stock sized is mostly only what will fit though...
 






I have a 31 crammed up in there, but it hangs down about 3" farther than stock. Part of that is because it's 1.5" wider, though.
 






Well, what if you have a hitch, i know mine is a class III, but i don't know if different manufactures would matter. I believe it is a Reese, it's square tubing if that helps! If you look up under the truck you can tell that you can fit something a little bigger but i don't know how much.

Happy trailes!
 






I have a 265 75 16 tire which are close to the 32's i have on the truck. But i have a round tubed class 3 hitch that goes around the tire giving me a bit more room.
 






Are those round tube hitches kinda hidden? I'd love to have one that wasn't so freaking big, this thing is huge! I looks like a freaking bumper under there!
 






You can definitely fit a 31" tire under your truck for a spare, even fully inflated. I have one under mine, and I also have a hitch. It's not a problem.
