I want to put my spare tire in the factory location . I will be using the Ford 15 inch rim. The rim is 5 1/2 inch wide. What I need help with I want to use a narrow tire on that rim. Can some one tell what size to use.Would a 195/75/15 fit on my rim or must I use a 205/75/15?Thanks in advance.

A lot of guys run the 195/75's all around on the stock 4.5" rims. I don't think it would be a problem on 5.5", but the tire shop could tell you for sure.
