Anyone at all who knows for sure, what is the max tire diameter that will fit on the spare mount with the stock bumper? Yay or nay on a 35X12.5? And where's the limit, bumper or overall weight?

I read the small blurb about the spare tire size in the newbie FAQ post, but it was somewhat non-committal on the answer.

 

a big factor in what will fit is the backspacing of your wheel. i have 33's on 16 inch wheels with 4.5 backspacing and they fit fine. i heard you can do 35's. ive also seen some ppl use a wheel spacer on the spare mount for better clearance.

 

If you have the right backspacing on your wheels a 35" will fit just fine. I've got the stock carrier and stock rear bumper with a 35" tire on American Racing Chamber rims and it fits just fine.

 

Will 4.75 backspacing on a 35 fit on the stock tire carrier?

 

I have a 33 with 5" backspacing on there. No problem I have room for at least another inch of tire.

 

i have a 35" with 4.75bs. no problem

 

Thanks everyone. Good to hear. So it sounds like if there's any fitting issues with a 35 then it can easily be remedied with a cheap wheel spacer. I'd like to eventually get a tire carrier bumper but my initial budget is getting hosed on the 35's themselves. Oh what a terrible conundrum
