Spare rims are narrower than the stock 20s though. A 305 tire is all I'd feel comfortable putting on an 8.5" wide wheel, so there's no way I'd put a 315 on a 7.5" wheel. Just my opinion though, I'd find a lightweight 10" wide wheel and put as big of a DR as I could fit on the back.

What size are the rims, might want to go with aluminum wheels about 10" wide that way you will have the most tire on the ground, you can find a pair for cheap just have to look for them , I got 3 mickey thompson 16X10 for $75 on CL.
