Spare Tire For Lowered Suspension GMT400 Trucks

[1996*GMC*SHORTBED]

What is everyone using & where? I have the stock 15" wheel/tire combo, mounted in the factory place, with the kit that moves it forward slightly, to make room for my hidden reciever hitch. BUT, I just bought a spare tire/wheel combo from a 90's Chevy Van, that is a 16" wheel, that came with a T145/80/D16 space-saver tire. It is the same 5 x 5 bolt pattern that we need. The main reason I bought it, is for more ground clearance, and so you won't see a spare tire hanging down any longer. I HAVE to carry a spare. Its not an option for me. Whats everyone else using?

i need to find me a spare ss wheel but it will hang out in the bed even if my exhaust wasnt in the way I cant fit under there to pull it without a jack

Back when I still carried a spare under my truck, I used a space saver spare from a 90's Buick roadmaster, it's the same bolt pattern and for me when I had a roll pan it didn't hang down so low that you could see it behind the roll pan.
