Largest Tyre On Spare Wheel Carrier was created by Jimnyash
I've had a good search around, but cant find any definitive answers:

What size tyre/wheel combo will fit on the spare wheel carrier without any extensions or modifications?

Thanks.

Ive got a 215/75/15 on mine without any mods and it fits, just! There is a few mil gap at the bottom of the tyre, between it and the bumper. For that reason i wouldnt say you could fit any bigger but i could be wrong. It doesnt hit the bumper or anything when you close the door, it fit just right.

Hope that helps

I don't know what would be the biggest combo to fit on there, but I don't think it's a very good idea to put any heavy tires there, because those door hinges are so crappy they barely can withstand the weight of a stock tire in the long run...

I've got a 235x75x15 on mine. Needed different bolts and spacing out a bit. To get the cover on I needed a stud spacer. Bits 4 vits sells one.

Thanks all.

Have managed to test with a 215/75 Grabber and it fits OK with a fair amount of clearence.
