You're right, and I guess I should state for the record that a 275/40/20 tire and 9.5" wheel will not fit between the spare tire area and cargo floorboard.

It will, however, fit in the cargo area, and could be brought with on long road trips, etc.

Or, it could be kept in the garage as a ready spare to be swapped while the old full size is getting a new tire installed.
