Default spare tire question

on the 01 ranger with the set side box what size tire really fits there? i have a full size spare in the box and that has to go somewhere else. i want the box empty for stuff not spares.

and what size do i call that step side box are those all the same size? i want to get a tonneau cover of sorts don't know which one yet but a cover, and i see a bunch of sizes listed in the sites that sell them. i have the extended car 01 with a step side box. thanks.

Why not put the spare where it is supposed to go.......under the truck.
I'm confused as to why this is an issue.

Look at your door sticker, and put a tire of that size, in the spare tire holder. My Rangers had a 235/75 15 for a spare.
