Default will 295/70r17 fit the 05 17x7.5 rim?

i am buying the nitto terra grappler 295/17r17 tires for my truck, and am planning to run the mickey thompson side biters (17x9 - 6x135) and if i get a flat i am going to need a spare. the factory spare is about 30 inches and the new tires are about 33.25 inches tall. this wouldnt work at all. my question is would that tire fit on the factory rims to use as a spare to throw in the bed. any help will be great. looking to order tonight or tomorrow.

The 295's will fit easily on the stock wheel's. A lot of people ran 315's on the stocker's with no problem's.
