HELP! Cherokee Spare Tire Problem
 

I'm tring to re-install the small spare tire in the trunk of my
Cherokee. I have had an incredibly difficult time putting it back in
to place and would appreciate any direction/tip on how to make it fit
back into place. My biggest problem is determining whether the plastic
dome is either a spacer (between trunk wall and tire) or as a bracket
(bracing the screw against the wheel). Also, should the tire stem on
the spare point towards the wall, or face out towards the rest of the
trunk? Again, I'd really appreciate any help anyone is able to
provide...thanks

I belive the spacer goes between the wheel and the nut. The valve stem
should face the window.
