That is most likely due to the tire diameter, not the rim size. If one tire is more than ~.5" off from the rest, it will set off ABS and other warnings.
That's true. Some manufacturers use the wheel speed to detect a soft tire. I believe BMW is one.

It's 6:00 am and no response. Guess Greg fell asleep while crawling under his truck. :giggle:

Yes, it's a 17" steelie.
Yep mine came with a 17" steelie with 265/65 17 tyre which matches the rest of the truck which is also 265/65 but in alloy. I just bought an as new matching alloy from someone on Gumtree for practically nothing, put on a new tyre, and now have a fully functional matching spare. I did notice the centre in the steelie wasn't particularly thick - maybe the spares are lightweight. I'd have to look at an XL specced truck to see what a standard steelie looks like.

My XLT came with chrome wheels on 255/65R17 Bridgestone, spare is a steel 255/70R16 Hankook. Both tires are 30.1" so I should be good. I went to check the spare pressure before my last vacation, had not paid attention to the stem mounted up. Tire had just under 20lbs. While I had the spare down figured might as well get it balanced since it didn't have any weights at all. Mounted the spare with the stem down

I'll look on mine but I'm pretty certain the spare rim is the same as my running rims on XL Soupie.

I can't find it right now, but I read somewhere (the manual?) that the spare rim can be used permanently.

That said, I just found third-party parts numbers that seem to differentiate between the spare and the running steelies:
