Default Tire carrier

Does any one know if a 285/75/16 tire on a 16x9 wheel fit on the stock 2013 stock tire carrier?

Well. Fit? Yeh. Probably. Good for it? Nope.

I say that because today I installed some 35x12.50-20's on a set of 20"x 10" wheels. 4.5" BS. It fit. Haha. But it was about 15-20 lbs too heavy for the door. The customer refused to but a bumper or even an adjustable tire carrier. Haha. Stupid a-hole. Told him he needed an exhaust spacer for his 4" lift too. He said" the shop that sold me the lift kit said I didn't need it" lol. 2013 fully loaded Rubicon. Even has painted fenders and dual tops. Gonna need a drive shaft and a tail gate soon. Hahahhbhaaaaaaa

He could have just been mad at me for asking him if the "peach" color was custom ordered? HAha

It'll fit. Its only a 32.8 inch tire and stock they put 32.1 on so I don't see .7 making to much difference

You'll be fine... Depending on how heavy your wheel and tire set is you may want to save up for a carrier down the road. Just make sure it's snugged up tight to the bumpstops and not rattling around. Also watch the rivets on the inside of the gate if you see any starting to crack you'll want to remove the tire and get a tire carrier. But really you should be fine I got a 35" on my stock carrier and it's holding it up fine for the time being.
