It's not the wheel diameter that impacts the spare tire bay, it's the width.  I run 16" alloys on the ground and have a stock steel 14" for a spare.  Same diameter but the steel one is narrower and only used to get to repair shop.  Just make sure you have a set of lug nuts for the steel as I believe the alloy nuts are different and may cause a problem, but I have used the alloy nuts successfully, too, for short distances.   Good luck.   Dan L.  89 Country Homes Camper

 in case you won't feel comfortable with the tight fit of the 15" spare, you
could get an oversized spare tire carrier
