    On my 2002 4runner had a blowout on the interstate passenger side, rear tire, the factory spare full size lug pattern would not fit/match so I had to call a tow truck. Has anyone else experienced this super bizarre.

    It would seem that somewhere along the miles someone swapped out the spare. How long have you owned the truck?

    ^^^ had to have been swapped.

    id look for people giving away their 3rd gen Tacoma spare tires, either free or cheap, will fit 3rd gen 4R. Easy way to get a full size r16 size spare tire
