Full Size Spare?
Ok so im running 235/75/15's. i want to know if the spare tire holder in the jeep was made to hold just the toy tire spare or can i use the bolt fixture to fix a 215 which is what came on the xj. it looks like the 235 fits in the space but its a little bulky and i know its a lil bigger than the 215 but the whole idea is can a 215 fit where the toy tire goes?

I have a full sized 235 75R15 spare in my 94XJ and it fits fine so a 215 should be no problem. I was thinking of switching to the full height "donut"..It's basically the width and cheap rim of the donut tires but just as tall as a full sized tire.

I have a hell of a time fitting my 31x10.50 in the stock location... I kinda gave up after 5 minutes of struggling and just let it lean against the side since it seems to stay in place for me
