Default Warn Rear Bumper and stock reasr tire mount?

Does anyone have a Warn rear bumper with a stock tire mount. Will a tire fit overe the bumper without mods?

Default Warn rear rock crawler bumper

I have it on my JK and it does not have the cut out to allow my spare to mount on the factory mount. The bumper's top is straight across so even with the optional tire carrier the spare sits higher than it did when on the factory mount.
It also requires you to move the third brake light to be above the spare. Overall I am happy with the bumper.

I was hoping it was thinner than the stock bumper and would allow a tire to sit outside it. Could that be the case?

I just went out to the garage to look because I know it stuck out but couldn't remember how far. It is at least 5" extended beyond the rear of the jeep. The spare would have to be extended so far I don't think it would not be practical. It seems like it extends as far as the stock OEM bumper even a little more. The surface area is nice to step up on if you a softtop for installation or removal...
