So I just picked up a super clean 2011 Renegade. While going through the vehicle at hom eI noticed it didn't have a full size spare. When I went to check air pressure in the tire. I saw that it was dry rotted. Well I plan on putting a full size tire/wheel under there.

Did Liberties with full size spare option come with a 16x7 steelie wheel or one that matched the other four? Was thinking of going 245/70/16 on all 5 wheels. Will that size tire fit under there? If not maybe just the 235/70/16 as spare with the 245's on all 4 corners.

Anyone have a site where I can order a oem or non oem steel wheel?

I have 245/75/R16's which are bigger than the ones you list, and it fits fine under the vehicle.

I started with a doughnut spare also, but found a 5th matching OEM rim at a junkyard. Check http://www.car-part.com for a junkyard near you. Mine came with a TPMS and a center cap and was only $70.

From my understanding you either got a donut, a full size spare on what is basically the donut rim, or a full matching spare. All depends on the year and options.

245/70-16 will fit under there. Some 265/75-16s (32s) will fit, but most need to be aired down and shoved in.
