38" rear spare tire

[TTLex]

im in the same boat, but im running 40's. I still say the best option is to go with a full size spare and rim to match. Im in the exact same situation too, dont drive the truck too far from home most of the time. I would still like to have the full size spare for summer trips to our lake house in North carolina (4 hr drive). Ive been looking for 1 used Toyo 40x15.5, it aint going too good so far. I would hate to drop $900 on a spare rime/ tire combo.

after research, ive decided to go with the spare and not do a spare delete....way too much stuff id have to buy and change. and id rather have a spare and not need it , than not have the spare and need it. so my options are go witha 18" spare and a 38" toyo or 20" with the 38" toyo? either size will get powdercoated to match. only difference is the size and price. the 18" wheel is like 140 and probably 50-60 for powdercoating and then 400 for the tire. OR 210 for the 20" wheel and 60+ for powdercoating and around 450 for the tire?

so around 600 for the 18 or 700 or so for the matching 20" spare.....
