Is it the same size spacer as the spacers for the first four tires?

I would avoid the spare tire spacer as it will cause problems later on for the gate spend your money on a bumper w carrier or a tf tire system

With a 1.25 wheel spacer you can retain your stock 3rd brake light and the tire will fit in the stock bumper notch. The tire will also fit snugged up to the stock isolators which will help you avoid vibrations

I have run everything up too a Nitto 35x12.5 on the stock carrier of my 2012 ( Nitto had slight rub on bumper ) with out any issues, an actual wheel spacer works the best as a spare spacer puts a lot more leverage on the tailgate

I have an extra spare tire spacer if you are looking for one. I used it before I got the teraflex system for my 35 inch trail grapplers. Send me a pm if you are interested.
