Does anyone know if a wider-than-stock 31" tire will fit on a factory rear tire carrier?

 

the one in the jeep? i don't know is you can close the hatch with something bigger

 

Go for it

 

Not the spare tire mount inside. I'm talking about a factory swing-away tire carrier on the rear of the XJ. It wasn't offered on all year models.

 

Es it will. My buddy runs 31's and use it for his spare.

 

oh ok! i know those... jist check for how much its rated to carry and go for it if its under that!

 

x2 dont overload it. I was looking at a swing away that was sitting in a parts pile in my backyard and decided it wasnt enough for my 235/85/16 on a ranger rim. glad there was a much beefier one in the pile too, now to fab up some brackets off the reese hitch to make 'er work. will post pics in the fab section when its done
