Default Need to find spare tire mount that adjusts tire position to right

Looking for a spare tire mount that attaches directly to the JK Rubicon rear door, that will have the tire offset to the right so I can mount a jerry can to the left of tire. Any suggestions appreciated. I'm going to use 16 inch wheels with 35 inch Firestone NTD Military tires. Thanks. I'm looking to do this:

I don't know which carrier would accomplish what you're wanting to do, but I like the look of those tires. However, I think they would be subpar on the street, especially in the rain. They would look good on mounted, though!

Default offset tire carrier

AEV's tire carrier has a slight offset, but not that extreme. Isn't the tailgate handle going to be in your way though?

I second the AEV carrier. It can be mounted through the stock plastic bumper and into the steel. They (AEV) also have a fuel caddy that will work with it.

Another vote for the AEV tire carrier. I have been running mine for 5 years now. It doesn’t rattle, squeak, or sag one bit. It has always operated smoothly as well. There is a noticeable offset to the right for sure. This pic was taken slightly from the left though.
