Default tire carrier

Will I need a new tire carrier or can I put a 33-12.5-17 tire on a 17-9 rim on the stock carrier. Thanks

You can put a 33" on it. You may need a spacer of some sort if the tire is too wide.

Mine is a 35x11.50 with no problems

It can be done, but not recommended. too much weight on the tailgate
