    Just curious what other folks would do.
    Here's my before and after...

    My old tires and rims look like this... decent tread but there is a lot of corrosion....

    Then there is my old tiny spare...

    I'm trying to decide if I should sell the 4 used wheels and tires (I know a friend who would probably pay like $80 each and not sure if that is a fair price). I could potentially go ask at a used tire shop... this guy is a friend I want a fair deal for both of us.

    Another option is put one of the BFGs up as the spare (if it fits it is 275/70 R18). I could also go to a full size spare and get another 315/70 r17... kinda doubt that will fit.

    Also could consider other options for full size spare storage like up top on a rack or something, rather not put it in the back.

    Final question is how bad is it to drive on a tiny spare in an emergency... imagine it's pretty hard on the differential. I guess if 50 miles or so is no big deal I can keep the smaller spare and make more money selling the old wheels and tires as a set.

    Long question I know thanks for any feedback or what you did... need this stuff out of my yard. Thanks again

    A 35" spare is tucked up under mine, just cut and bend a little.

    It depends if you think you’ll ever need them. Would you put your truck back to stock when you sell it? Do you have somewhere to store them? I usually end up selling that type of stuff if someone else can use it so I don’t have to store it.

    I don't plan on selling the truck anytime soon and with the bracket lift I put on there's really no going back to stock. I'm also out of storage space.

    Leaning towards selling as a set of 4 and trying to stuff a full size spare on a cheap rim underneath (if it will, in fact, fit on a 2007).

    Does $50 each tire or $80 for tire and rims seem fair? I honestly just want to get rid of them...

    I also have these Bilsteins from the back. Probably like 30k miles on them and a little surface corrosion (I live near the coast). Craigslist? Would there be any interest in these? I could try and clean them up but they aren't going to turn pretty...

    With the condition of the wheels, I would try to get $300 for the entire set and except $200.

    But that's just me.

    Put the rims and tires for $200 firm, free on the shocks as is.

    Didnt want to say it, but I gave my 150k mile billies w/ complete front coilovers, away to a guy that happened by with his tundra when I finished the eibach install.

    I do not need to hold onto any more old parts, and I am not nearly as good at selling as buying.

    I just put new Icon Wheels and tires on. I purchased a matching 5th spare so I don't have to drive on a smaller tire. I just add it into the tire rotations. I had TRD Pro wheels that I sold with the old tires on them and threw the spare out cause it looked like yours.
