Originally, Cindy and I decided to just install 4 new 225/75R16 Cooper Discoverer STT Pro's on our Jeep Renegade and keep the factory spare. Our thinking was that we probably wouldn't be able to fit a full size spare under the trunk and really, the difference in size wasn't too far off to be a problem. That being said, I had the front wheels off our Renegade yesterday as I was doing some work and just before wrapping things up, I thought that maybe I should just give it a try. So, I opened up the rear end, removed the factory spare, foam insert and tool bag and popped in one of our new wheels. And, what do you know - IT FITS!!
After fiddling with things a bit, I was even able to get the tool bag back in but not the foam insert which really isn't a big deal. Of course, the trunk deck went right back in as well and without any issues. Anyway, I just thought some of you might be interested to know that you can carry a full size 225/75R16 spare in the back of your Renegade. Guess I'll be ordering up another wheel and tire now
