Default anyone using 35's on stock moab wheels with Teraflex HD tire carrier?

I currently don't have the spare 35's mounted on the wheel but it looks pretty tight. So, does it fit without some kind of spacer? if you need spacers, anyone have a picture of your setup?

well,,, just installed the tire carrier with adjustable mount and the stock moab w/35's don't fit. the tire rubs on the hinged carrier part and won't install correctly without some type of spacer. I might just go to 4wheelparts tmrw and get the G2 1.5 inch spacer since it looks like they're on sale for 80bucks. geez, i wish teraflex would've thought about folks that use stock wheels with bigger tires so we don't have to spend more money...

You have the adjustable mount or are you using the stock carrier with the hinge. The tire is suposed to rest against the hinge. If you have the adjustable carier, you can pull the tire out as far as you want.

Just got myself a ******* wheel spacer for 40 bucks that worked with the stock wheel. The side effect of this is that I no longer have the ability to use the 3rd brake light adaptor without modification.
