Fabing/modifing spare tire for over sive (31") tire
I have searched. I remember a thread on a guy who adapted the OEM mount to work with a larger than stock tire. 
I want to use one of my old tires as a full size spare. Got it mounted & balanced today & took out the 225/75r15 spare I had/have. 1992 XJ sport.
thanks

I just put a 31 where my dounut was and it fits perfect without moving the seat forward. you can get a part at the hardware store with a hook on one side that threads into a sleeve that has a eye loop threaded into the other side of the sleeve. I used the plastic cone to center the tire however it wont sit strate because of the wheel well bump.

i have 31X10.50s, my spare isnt an exact match but it is close.
i have a custom bumper with a swing out rack on the back that has it on it. works really well for me. (latly i have also put 2 5 gal gas cans on next to it. no pics yet)

In my 97+ model, I just measured over an inch or so and drilled and tap'd a new holes. The back seat is not noticebly lopsided. and it fits in a 31, you have to angle it right when putting it in.
