A3 wheel for a spare

[shootiniron]

I've been fortunate enough to have the A3 wheels and 14.50-20's on my A2 and love them.The spare,however,is the same size tire as the rest but on a stock wheel.I had to use a floor jack to get it installed on the truck.I'm wondering will the trucks spare tire hanger handle an A3 wheel and tire,is it the same on the A3's as the A2's? Thanks!

They apear to be the same to me , but with 40mph winds and snow I am to lazy to go outside and confirm .

I use an A3 rim and tire as a spare. They do not work with the spare hanger in stock form. I had to weld on extension adapters to the hanger. The A3 rim has an offset which necessitates this.

Thats what I was kinda thinking as The A3 rim is so much wider.Thanks Gimp
