Default Rugged Ridge XHD Tire Carrier for 37"

Hey I am looking into getting the rear Rugged Ridge bumper with the tire carrier to match my front bumper, and i was wondering if that tire carrier would be able to carry a 37" tire. I am getting 37" Nitto mud grapplers and was wondering what options i have to carry it as a spare. The tire carrier is advertised as being able to support up to a 35" tire.

Rear bumper works fine with a 37" tire. Mine has a slight vibration at higher speeds that I can see from my rear view mirror. I would purchase it again, no hesitation. Vibration would probably go away with a couple of tack welds to the actual spare carrier, not the bumper.
