Can we activate a JEEP LAW that would clearly state this:

-"No Jeep (specifically wrangler) can be fitted with 4 oversized wheels and tires and still retain the stock wheel and tire which is affixed to the spare tire carrier."

Subsection A: One may simply remove the spare from it's current location and leave no tire and wheel affixed to the spare tire carrier if:
-The lift and tires are really huge
-The hugeness of the said lift/tire/wheel requires the tire/wheel to be placed in the cargo portion of the vehicle.
-You are waiting for a bumber/tire carrier to be purchased/installed

SubsectionB: At no point should a mis-matching of wheels or tires be thought of as acceptable to include:
-A spare tire cover (which does not fool anyone)

 

so..........................This bothers you?

AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Yes, because:
1- it looks bad
2- if you engage 4wheel drive, you will mess your ride up

So.....why even have it on there??????

 

I'm gonna be so popular before this thread is over!

 

Who cares how it looks. It's a spare. Due to lack of availabilty of rear bumpers with tire carriers or perhaps lack of funds there are alot of jk's running around just like this.
Just for you though I swiched it out.

I'd have to agree with you. It's just poor planning for one to not have a matching spare. It's pretty much the same as that stupid little donut spare that comes with a Geo Metro.

 

No way man!

the 5th doughnut allows me to quickly identify 'chodes'....

clearly these people thought enough about a lift kit and big tires, but somehow forgot that in the 'real off road' tires go flat! and since they never go 'really off road'... its not an issue to have 3 35" tires, and one 28" tire...

man that would look funny...

I like the people even more who slap a 33 or 35 on the factory mount on a TJ, and you can watch as the weight rips everything apart :(

 

Trust me, I understand the lack of funds....but if you have a winch, lift, bumper and some 35s......you can prioritize for an extra tire!
If you get a flat on the trails, a donut gets you nowhere.
It's merely a peeve of mine. I'm sure others would agree.

 

The rear spare mount on the JK is rated for "50 lbs." How much do you think a 35" Nitto Mudd Grappler weighs?????????

 

That's a good question
