Looking to upgrade to a 37x12.5R17 Recon Grappler and was wondering if anybody has been able to fit it in the spare tire location. Thanks.

I have a 37x12.5.R18 Yokohama Geolandar M/T as a spare and it is .3 larger than the Recon Grappler. I'm running Nitto Ridge Grapplers 37x12.5R18 but the previous owner sold the original wheels/tires when he upgrades them. I ran without a spare for a short time. Discount Tire had the Yokohama on sale. The manager stated the Ridge & Geolandar M/T are about the same size 36.77 Ridge & 36.8 for Geolandar. The Recon is slightly smaller at 36.54, so you should not have a problem.

Thank you. I ran Ridge Grapplers on my F150 and loved them but figured Recons are 5lbs lighter and I only do fire roads and light trails other than commuting so figured they'd be better...... I hope.

It should fit. I am running Recons, but my set was an early set so a spare wasn't available. So I found a brand new, same-sized Ridge Grappler and fit it in the factory location.

I have the Nitto Recon in 37x11.5R17 on stock steel spare and it fits! Granted, it’s at about 20 PSI if I remember correctly, but it fits.
