Does anybody know what the biggest size tire that will fit where the stock spare goes?
I have an '89, and a 225/75 R15 fits, but is kinda tight....
Will a 30 x9.5 x15 fit?
If not, what will I need to do to mod it so it will fit?
Thanks!

 

i have seen people stuff a 31 there

you should be good to go

 

I've seen 31's in a 4 door and a 33 in a 2 door.. But both these where stock location with a custom built bracket..

 

Yea I have a 31-10.50 in my 4 door

 

Cool.
Thanks for the responses.
Just planning ahead !

 

As Nick says you may need to alter the stock bracket.

 

i've put the biggest i can with no mods, and thats 235/75r15. 31 will not fit with no mod, i've tried. 4dr by the way.

 

I have a 30x9.50 back there now with no problems. you need to take the metal "stud" out of the bottom hole and transfer it to the top hole in the bracket to make it fit correctly. I still have a tiny bit of room left. I need to get my 31" spare mounted and hopefully I can fit it back there without too much problem

 

i have my spare kind of in the spare location. took the monting plate off and its just leaning up attached there. works well for me and i can still see out the back. if you have OBA deflate it some and keep a bigger one there

 

When I get my 30x9.5's, it looks like the spare should fit.....If I have to, I'll but a zig-zag bend in the stud or something.
I just want to avoid a "YouTube Moment"...blowing out the back hatch glass when closing the hatch...

 

I have a 30 x 9.5" in the spare... and it fits tight...fully inflated,, you might stuff a 31.. but it will be very very hard and you might need to deflate the tire a bit

 

You didn't use a big enough hammer!!!

 

ya, i forgot the bfh to add to the spare tire tools. btw...your name still scares me. i'm gonna stick with dare.

 

Iv fit my 35's back there

 

Well I am about to solve fitting a 31" tire there so once I find a way I'll let ya know how it turns out.
