Picked up a spare tire. Now what??

[ElGuano]

Got it, thanks much.

For the sake of anyone else who might go this route, I took some measurements.

With an OEM 21" wheel/tire lying flat in the bed, it's 86mm from the top of the wheel hub to the top of the threads in the spare tire well. It's 116mm from the top of the wheel hub the bottom of the spare tire well.

So for a 120mm long M10, you need al LEAST 4mm thick of stopper/plate/washer to seat it securely without bottoming out.

For a 100mm long M10, you have at MOST 4mm for a stopper/plate/washer to still have 10mm of thread. Presumably you can deflate the tire a bit to get some additional compression in.

Appreciate the folks who linked to the specs of the bolts/washers they used.

Just ordered a new R1T does it come with a spare? Can you get a full size with a good jack?

Does not come with a spare but you can order the whole kit in the gear shop. Spare, jack, etc.
