03 spare tire
 

evening men, hey i was just looking at my stock spare on my sahara and
want to replace it with the 31x10.50 that i have on the rest of the
jeep. is there going to be a problem mounting that thing. looks like it
would hit the light above the stock spare if it was any taller. thanks
john jr

You need to put a spacer under the third brake light so it will clear.
Seeral companies make them, but you can probably just fashion a sapcer out
of tubing and use longer bolts.

(Don't tell anyone, but some of us have just taken the 3rd light off and
thrown it in the junk pile.)

31" should be fine. It might be a little tight, but that's what they put in
the Rubi with the same tire carrier.
