LR4 Spare Tire - Full vs. Toy Size

[AceRider]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but:

- Doesn't the HD LR4 have a full-sized spare tire?
- My non-HD has the toy sized spare.
- The full-sized spare tire doesnt' fit into the non-HD spare wheel well?
- Or does the full-size spare fit but they just give you the toy size in the non-HD model?

I guess there is nothing to correct except my understanding - does a full-sized spare fit into the non-HD's spare wheel well?

I think I may have found my own answer:

I was confused since I hear a lot of people talking about airing down their spare to make it fit, but I think they are the ones using a larger than stock tire.

That's correct, the spare wheel well will accept any size tire and rim, full size or compact, up to about 30" - 30.5" or so in overall diameter (any larger and you may have to start deflating and/or removing the heat shield between exhaust and tire.)

Yes.

Correct.

It certainly does.... the factory wheel with fully inflated tire fit in the spare tire spot.
- Or does the full-size spare fit but they just give you the toy size in the non-HD model?
Correct.
