My 99 Ranger has stock 245 75R16. I have a spare that is 255 70R16. A little wider and not quite as tall. I got it with a parts Explorer. It was in the back so I don't know what truck it was part of, but I see the impressions of the chassis on the sidewall where the spare tire is stowed.
I dropped my spare on the ranger and was surprised to find a donut, speed restricted, 15" steel wheel. Is this the standard equipment on a Ranger. What are the side effects of driving for any distance with that mounted? Is it possible that some Rangers might have a steel wheel spare that is 245 75R16? Thinking of checking junk yards next time I am around. I guess I also wonder if that tire would fit under the bed.
Thanks
