I should have mentioned that in general a 31" tire is the most you should
mount on the stock carrier.

Re: Rear spare tire mount
Yep, 31" is pushing it, depending on how you drive. I had a spare 31"
mounted to my stock 92YJ carrier for about 5 years and eventually developed
a crack in the tailgate from the stress.
I recommend going with an aftermarket frame-attached swing-out spare tire
carrier, if it's within the budget..

Re: Rear spare tire mount
A 31 tore off the rear fenders on my CJ7 after about 3 years of my off
road abuse...
I even saw one of those frame mount ones fail totally with a 33 on it
last week. It was hangin' in sort of, but didn't survive the trip out
of the bush.
