Default can I store a factory alloy wheel as the spare?
Hi folks,

My truck came with the (horrible lug-centric) factory steel wheels, and I'm looking to replace them with factory alloy wheels. Does the spare tire storage accept a factory alloy wheel as the spare? I'm not sure if the carrier bracket would fit an alloy wheel, and I have no factory alloy wheel to look at. If it does, I could buy five alloy wheels and switch to 5-wheel rotations. This better spreads out wear and makes it easier to rotate tires in the driveway, as one corner must be up in the air at a time.

Thanks in advance!

- Chris
