Default 5.50-19 Radials and Side Mount Fit

Does anybody have the 5.50-19 Coker radial tires and if so do they fit in the side mount on the fender ? I am considering putting a set on a 30 PU project.

Thanks guys

i bought the 475/500R19 American Classic Radial for my 31 CCPU, and they fit the side mount. Not sure dimensionally what the difference is in profile and width, but you can use this as a reference point.

I have the 550R19 Excelsior Radials from Coker on my '31 CCPU. They fit the side mount spare much better than the 475-19 Firestones I had previously.

Ditto on the Firestones. I have to deflate my spare for the pickup to get it to fit in the fender well, and carry an air compressor with me.

Good to hear the American Classic radials fit well.
