I just got 31x10.50x15" MT/R's mounted on my '97 TJ. The spare will now not mount to the tire carrier without flipping it over so that the inside of the spare rim is facing out, which means that the tire is hanging several inches out away from the Jeep. Also, it looks like even if the mounting studs were long enough to reach the holes in the rim with the tire flipped over the right way, the tire would not clear the center brake light extension thingie. The tire is too tall and would hit it.
A quick glance showed that I could probably use spacers of some sort to get clearance for the brake light tower, but what about the other issues? DO I need to get a new fargin' tire carrier? Is the one for the Rubi sized for 31's (must be)....
Thanks!
