Rim size don't matter. Diameter/circumference is what counts.

Mine has a 17" spare, the main rims are 18". Both tires are 31.5" in diam, same revs per mile........

What they should have said is that the spare tire is a smaller diameter than the other tires.
Virtually, mutually exclusive of rim size as long as the rim fits on the truck, which it does, because some models still come with 17s.
I bet the trucks with 20s and 22s don't have 20 and 22" rim size spares...

At least it is good to hear only 626 vehicles had the wrong spare installed. I'll pretty sure I'm ok but I'll check later this morning.
