You're running Coopers? I'm thinking the tire type/brand will make a difference also? If 285 fits, then I'm sure 275 will fit just a tad easier... hmmm... maybe I should go with the smaller size once I'm ready to swap rims/tires... Good video. Thanks for the info.
Yes coopers. As far as the brand, maybe a little different. But 285 refers to width of a tire in millimeters. Then the second number in tire sizes is the percent of that 285 number. So, 285/65r17 is 285mm wide, 65% tall (185mm tall), Radial, on a 17 rim. Good luck with your build.
Damn, guess i have to upgrade to a short turn-down style exhaust now to fit my bigger spare, oh darn ;)
Any updates on the exhaust heat effecting the tire. I’m currently keeping my 285/75-16s in my bed.
Currently no problems.

I have the 6... I don't think there is a difference in the spacing for the spare.
