Default Rubber Bumper Extensions for Spare Tire

Hi, I searched for this one on the forum, thinking this would be a common issue...perhaps I'm using the wrong terminology...

Look for a bit of help.

I replaced my stock wheels with V-Tec raptors - they have a -12mm offset and more backspacing than a stock Moab. I also added 33" Duratracs. As a result, when I mount my spare, the tire does not make contact with the rubber bumpers on the gate. I assume someone must make some bumper extensions or a shorter mouting bracket?...

Any suggestions? Thanks!!

I installed those last week, my 35" sits right on the bumper keeps it very still but put those on for extra balance.
