Is there a thread on Spare tire solutions for people that want to carry a 31" spare but still need the cargo room?

Bleepinjeep has a YouTube video on how to fit a 31 inch tire in the factory spare tire location.

I have 33s on mine. I got a spare last Friday and threw it in the back. Saturday I made this carrier. It plugs into the receiver. That wedge on the back cinches down by a 1/2-13 bolt, keeping it from rocking and making noise. Drove to work all week with it up there, doesn't block the rearview too bad. Worth the $7 it cost me to make, had to buy the license plate light and hitch pin. I can't claim the ideas for the design though, I surfed the web for a couple hours and blended the best of the designs I saw out there.

Maybe you'll get lucky and find a oem swing out carrier. Mine holds my 33x10.50 just fine.

If its a daily driver you could get away not having a spare,A lot of new cars on the road do not come with a spare tire or jack anymore.They come with a air compressor and a can of fix a flat type stuff.

That fix a flat is corrosive to aluminum wheels. I used to work at a scrap yard, saw the inside of more than one wheel flaking away with that crap in the wheel.
