Chances are your 20s have a lower aspect ration than the 17 and the outer circumference is very close to being equal. Even then the spare is just to get you to a place to repair or replace the faulty tire. ---

There is no problem. Dodge installed the 17 inch spare in your truck. Dodge designed your truck. Why would we ever contradict the people who designed your truck?
