I was thinking of getting a 5th 18" stock wheel and mounting it as a spare. Does anyone know if it would fit under in the spare tire mount?

What do you have as a spare now? My Armada came standard with a factory alloy wheel for a spare (18") ??:confused: ??

Like Qx56on24black said, Yes it fits. Like everyone else said, you should already have a full size spare. Unless you bought it used and it came without a spare.

Considering you just bought your '07 this last April, it sounds like you bought it new. If you didn't get the full size spare, there are laws against that similar to selling a car without a jack. I'd have to look to know for sure but I'm pretty sure that a brand new car is required to be sold with the factory (not a replacement) spare tire.

A dealership can get into a LOT of trouble for trading a Full Size out for a doughnut spare because the spare is required to meet the specs for the vehicle that it is on and it is up to the factory, not the dealership to determine that. The only difference with the spare on our trucks is that it does not have a TPSM. If you were to add in a TPSM, it is identical to the other wheels.

Great point Pops, and hopefully you have it.

We had some damage to one wheel and when tires were replaced, took the spare wheel and used it putting the scratched wheel under the truck. Just switch the sensors.

I'm not sure about the MADA but with the 07 Titan they get the cheap little spare tire.:D Mine is also a full size spare.

You had me worried for a minute. :D Just looked it up, the Full Size Spare is still standard on all of the '08 models so I would think that it was on the '07s too.

It's under the 'Exterior' section:

You should have had a spare in there to begin with...If not, whoever sold it to you screwed you. Since it comes with standard 18"s, it should fit without problems. Good luck.

Yeah, I got it brand-new with a full-size spare, but the spare that it came with is just a generic black wheel. I wanted to get an alloy wheel that matches my other wheels as a spare. Sorry for the confusion. So I'm wanting to know will an alloy 18' stock wheel fit underneath as a spare?

Generic wheel, but full size is what you should get. If you want to go to stock wheel and rotate 5 instead of 4, you can go that route and it will fit. No sensor in the spare either. ;)

It will definitely fit. You might post a WTB in the Buy/Sell/Trade section since a few of the guys still have their stock wheels sitting around in the garage, they might want to make a little $$$$ selling them to new '08 owners for a nice spare to replace that black steel wheel.
