Default New tires are rubbing on back bumper...is there a part for that?

I had slightly larger tires installed on my '12 JK, but noticed the spare is rubbing on my back bumper. Is there a part made to raise, push up or out the spare tire away from the bumper. Dealer says no, but they are stuck with Mopar parts.

Looked thru Quadratec, no such animal that I could id.

There has to be a part for this. Thanks for any suggestion or name of the part I can order.

You want this, but look for a cheaper one.

Ok, so I took a picture of a 2013 Unlimited Sahara bumper for you.

If you wanted to drop the bumper slightly to fit the 35", all you'd need to do is redrill the center brackets above the existing holes, and drill a slot in the side brackets.
Matter of fact, I've done it for you!

Just bolt her up and.... Wait, virtual reality is not real.
Ok, just follow my yellow diagram then!

(you could also get some metal and make your own brackets, if you were nervous about messing with yours)

I just overcomplicated it! Yeah, just buy the bracket that Karls listed. Or you could go on an adventure....
