Default Spacer needed ?!?

I recently installed a Expedition One rear bumper and tire carrier. Has anyone figured out that an additional spacer is needed to install the rear tire on the carrier? I have 35's mounted on stock Rubicon Rims!!

I assume you're saying your spare doesn't fit on the tire carrier? If not, then just get a bracket adaptor.

yeah thats cuz your running stock 17"s I'm assuming you are prolly running spacers on the other 4 so they don't rub your shocks, or sway bar? you can either purchase a pair of spacers for 60bucks or a spare tire adapter. both run around the same price and essentially do the same thing xcept i think the adapter brings the tire up and out the spacers is just gonna bring it out. But if you get the spacer you get an extra to sell to someone else who is having the same issue and get to recover half your money

Good!! I was gonna say that most stuff you can find online thru some of the forum sponsors websites like Northridge4x4. You can learn a lot about what's out there for Jeeps just by surfing through their stock.
