Default Do I need a tire carrier?

My JK is on order but I already have a ton of mods in my garage. I was wondering if I need a rear tire carrier.

I have XD addicts with -12 offset, Micky Thompson Baja MTZ 285/70/17

I'm also running a RR XHD rear bumper.

Thanks

Paul

That should be fine. Just make sure the tire still makes contact with the tailgate bumpstops. Daystar has extended ones that are on backorder until beginning of January.
