Spare tire and wheel

Thank you “tennisshoes” for your answer. Your answer makes it clear that I did a poor job of describing my situation and thus my questions. The wheels/tires on the ground are 235-75-15’s while my spare is a 235-70-16. Is this original from the factory? Shouldn’t the match?

Hi there I have a Ford ranger supercab 2007 reg 4x2 what size tyres would fit I have seen some 265 65 17 would these fit without having to do alterations currently it has 215 70 15 on

I also have a 2011 Ford Ranger XLT SuperCab 4-Door 4WD. I bought it used from a Ford dealership in 2013 with 15K miles on it. I've taken my spare out to clean and inspect it regularly, but never really looked at the size until now. I have the exact same situation, so I'm guessing it's more than a coincidence.

I bought my 2006 Ranger Sport brand new in 2006 and it has 15" wheels and tires on it but the spare is 16" so I am just like the rest of you with an odd size tire for a spare. Maybe they hired an idiot and put him in charge of the spare tires or maybe the idiots that are in charge told them if they ran out of 15" spares to go ahead and use 16" spares or more likely they just got a good deal on those 16" ers. I have used mine when rotating tires in the driveway and yes the bolt pattern fits. Looks like we have a mystery.

I have a 2006 ford ranger v6 will a fill size tire fix under the truck. I just brought it and it didn't come with a spare.

I have a 2006 Ford Ranger sport and the door panel lists a 16 inch tire as a spare tire a 235 70 R16

I am looking for 2 or 3 spare tire under the bed. 235 70 16"

Same here, 2007 ranger with 15” tires from factory and a 16” spare.
