Ouch! Yeah, I'm now glad I never found any skinny tires for my American. 
215/65-15's fit great. I wish I had done side by side photo of the old 
ones, the new ones are easily twice as wide.

The fat tires are not even close to fitting in the spare well! The spare 
(I do the old fashioned thing of 5 identical tires, and rotate) sits on 
the left side, takes up a lot of room! Tools and spares go in the well!
