Factory wheel with stock tire on rear tire carrier

[djdoherty450]

Has anyone attempted to put a factory wheel on the rear tire carrier with the stock 235/75/15 tire size? I'm wondering if it will fit before I order a reconditioned wheel and have a tire installed. The spare wheel is a steel one and it has rusted to a bad shade of brown.

1996 Eddie Bauer, all stock... with a rusty spare wheel and old tire, old picture attached. I'm curious if the spare offset is the same as the OE wheels

The offsets should be the same. I have had my spare (steel rim) on my truck and the factory Aluminium rim on the carrier. I run the 31X10.50R15 on the aluminums and have a 32X10.50R15 on my steel spare. This is just until I can find a suitable aluminum and get the correct tire mounted on it.

Agreed,
acquired a OEM 15" aluminum rim off a F series to replace the steel one that was on my rig. Swapped the 32" tire onto the aluminum and it mounted to the spare carrier just fine.

I notice we have just about the same taste in Broncos

Yea, does look sorta familiar.
These are the Faster ones.
Am planning on leaving mine pretty much plain-jane as well, even with the factory cassete player. Just have to locate a refurbishment outfit for it eventually- radio still works ok.
