The key when choosing a spare tire is to make sure it is the same construction type and load range as the other tires currently on your 2017 Forest River Wildwood. You mentioned that you have 225/75R15 tires. The R means that the construction type is radial. The D at the end most likely indicates that it is a load range D. In this size a load range D tire will have a capacity of 2,540 pounds at 65 psi so compare that to the capacity listed on the sidewall of the existing tires to confirm.

I have included a link to the tire and wheel combos we have in your tire size, construction type, and load range. All you would have to do is pick out the one you like or that matches what you already have the best.

Since it is going to be a spare I would go with the basic white steel wheel option, # AM32664. But we also have some slick aluminum options such as # A225R6FPS. I have linked all of them for you as well as videos for the 2 listed above. In the link to the list of tires use the filters on the left to select load range D, radial, and 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern.
