Will standard full size tire fit in spare tire location?

[The Real Maverick]

We had a blow out and it was a bitch driving on the smaller tire but at least it was better than a doughnut, had to put hydraulic jack under on side of 4 way lug wrench to break the lug nuts by standing on the wrench. At least it wasn't raining..........

At least the lug nuts were not loose. Which would be far worse.

Still wish Ford would Balance the full-size spare.

FYI-

Mavericks can come from the factory equipped with "FULL USE SPARES".

They incorrectly marked the spec sheets as "full size spares".

Slight differences, and Ford eventually quit calling them "full size". But those are "Full Use" meaning:

You can tow a trailer with the spare on.
You can drive any speed with the spare on. Those two things you CAN NOT do with a "compact" spare.

Hope that helps.

BAP 18” wheels with “full size/full use spare” of 17”… hope all the above still applies.

My 2017 Silverado did come the same way though 18’s on the ground, 17 spare.

I hear ya.

Same circumference would be best. No doubt.

What is the circumference difference between your two tires?
