My F250 Lariat has "raised white letter Michilens" on cast aluminum wheels (or did) and a blackwall spare on a black steel wheel. Then, even with "changing out the spare to a road wheel", on many trucks with 20" wheels, the spare is still an 18" wheel/tire assembly, making rotating the spare to the ground even more difficult.
Hmmm........I would've not thought about a different size spare on a truck. I guess I'll find out soon if I'll continue thus practice on my 6.0. I've not had it long enough to do a rotation yet but, it's on the list to do. Thanks for the heads up.
