Technically, yes, Kevin. They use the same ST235/80R16 E-rated tire and 8 on 6-1/2 wheel pattern, so fitment isn’t an issue. That said, it’s best not to mix aluminum # MXS27FR and steel # MXS69FR wheels long-term, since they flex differently. Use one as a spare if needed, but match materials for daily towing.
Would you like a matching aluminum spare option to keep your setup uniform?
