Spare tire mount with 235s
« on: June 21, 2004, 01:36:47 AM »
When I put the 235s on my Tracker I didn't include the spare.  Yesterday I was looking at it's mount and it doesn't look like a 235 would mount to the stock carrier.  What are you guys doing to mount a spare other than getting Calmini's carrier.

Is the bumper hitting the larger tire? I have a 33x12.50 hanging on my factory location, but no longer have the rear bumper

Yes, it is the bumper that would be in the way.

Sorry, can't help. I removed my stock bumper before I went with a larger spare. If you are not locked, you could use a smaller spare to get you back home.

Okay,  Before you yell at me this is a Jeep part, but I think it will work.

It is a spare tire relocation bracket.  It moves the spare up and out a little.  Quadratec sells them.

If you have different size tires on a locked axle, it (the locker) will think you are in a constant state of wheel spin. Causing it to lock and unlock constantly and trashing your locker,axle, etc... Whatever breaks first :o

I've seen some nice fab work on custom spare swing arms and the like.... if you're into that sort of stuff. When I consider moving to larger tires, I'll do mine just like Heather's rig. It's a nice setup and I have a friend that will do the fab. work for me!

Relax, the 235 will fit fine on the stock mount. Looks like it's sitting on the bumber but my tailgate opens and closes fine.

BK is correct 235 will mount no prob, I had 30x9.5 on stock rim and on stock mount, all I had to do was reverse mount the tire on the mount (less of an offset) and space it out a bit.

I thought I put a 235 on my spare rack
when I was stock and I never remember it
hitting, it is like 1/4 of an inch from the bumper
tho, but fits fine, the little rubber stoppers on
the gate seem to get squeezed hard, I think
I would remove them, BTW I have a 33 12.5
swamper on the stock rim and on the rack, it's
a bit of a squeeze to get it on, but it fits  ;D
