    Can I put a full size tire and wheel in the usual place on my 2015 TRD Sport?
    17" wheels.

    Pretty sure it comes with a full size spare. My '13 TRD Sport has a full size 17" spare.

    Even my 5 lug came with a wheel/tire that matched what was on the ground.

    Are you sure you don't already have that?

    It's a temp tire. I have to find a wheel and tire that will fit.

    Unless you have oversized tires, you already have a full size spare.

    The answer is yes. I have a full size (255/85/16 - 33") tire in the stock spare tire location. It fits fine with a little massaging of the retainer tabs. I had a 265/75/16 in there for years without having to modify anything.

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Any vehicle with a tow package is coming with a full size spare. Additionally: the vast majority SUV's and trucks are gonna come with a full size spare.

    That was my first thought, if I'd seen the thread earlier, I would have mentioned it.
