Got my new spare on Tuesday; went to fit it yesterday... no go... the holder underneath was too small.
Quick look on ToyoDIY yields two different versions for the 4Runner - one for the small tyre (205R16) and one for the wide version (265/70R15 or about 31x10.5R15). I get fed up dealing with some of the guys who are into the 4Runners and Surfs as they aren't always that cluey on some of the subtle differences, so it's sometimes easier to go for a plan b option: A later HiLux has a a similar set up, but without the hooks that curve around the tyre (and is a bit thinner) so off to the wreckers to find that instead. $20 later, and I have the part I need and now ready to paint it up and fit it up later today.
