What is the biggest tire I can mount on the stock spare tire carrier on my
89 YJ? I just need it to be 33" tall.

a 33" will fit

33x12.5? 33x10.5?

Yep, either will fit. Make spacers as necessary. BTW, it will tweek the
tailgate and/or spring the hinges and the gate latch. It is a lot of
overhung weight to be adding. Aftermarket or homemade carriers that
bumper mount are preferred.

Washers work as spacers? What size will fit w/o a spacer?

I wouldn;t mount anything larger than a 31" tire on the stock carrier.
Anything larger will eventually crack the mountings loose from the sheet
metal. If you need to mount a 33" tire get an aftermarket bumper/carrier
combo.

I mounted a 31" and it slowly tore the hell out of my tailgate...wait, make
that the second tailgate I've gone through.. I'm not putting it back on
untill I find an affordable solution.
