Will an AEV Pintler Beadlock 17"x8.5" with a 285 70/R17 fit on the stock Rubicon spare tire rack? Can anyone answer that please.

 

I don't have a beadlock , but I have an AEV pintler with a 35 inch tire on my stock carrier, so I would think, yes!

 

Thanks SKI I am going with the OME kit from Northridge but with 33"s. Your jeep looks great.

 

I have seen up to a 37" tire ran on the swing gate with the stock rear bumper without any clearance issues.

 

Is possible that you can fit that tire with an after market bumper.Personally i have AEV 17x8 Pinther with a Hankok DynaproMT 35 and I have to use a Bestop tire carrier.Because the tire hits the bumper ,You can use a one inch spacer but is not a good idea .You are increasing the leverage on tailgate and thats brings a lot of vibrations and noise

 

It is a bumper by bumper issue. Each company designs their bumper to hold different sizes, and dirrefent tire mounting styles. Some will try to carry the tire completely above the bumper, while others will have a recess in the bumper to try to bring the tire lower for a better view out of your window.
