I see pictures of people with spares all the time, but I can't figure out what you all are buying! I even searched to no avail!

Can someone help me figure out the right size wheel/tire for a single spare wheel/tire for a stock setup? Leaning towards a 25x8x12 tire on a 12x7 - 5+2 Offset - 4/110

Since the front and rear are different sizes, I figure I either go in between or go with an extra front wheel size? I saw a few references to using a bigger tire (like the rear) but with more offset (To clear the front).

After spending a lot of time researching, I kind of got blocked up. I was going to go with a 12x7 - 5+2 Offset - 4/110 (I know the OEM is 25x8x12 (front) and 25x10x12 (rear) tires but I think its 12x6 front rim and 12x7.5 rear wheel)

Then if I go with a 12x7 - 5+2 Offset - 4/110, what size tire do I need, a 25x8x12? (25x9x12 seems hard to find too)

I also thought about going with a 12x6 - 5+2 Offset - 4/110 but that's near impossible to find...

Thanks for any thoughts and recos about what you carry!

Pre COVID 19 at my local Honda dealership they would sell a set of stock tire and wheels for 200.00 from someone who had upgraded to a bigger size. I used my old ones as spares. See if yours sells them.
