Tailgate swing tire carrier question
 

Does anybody know if a 33x12.50x15 tire will fit cleanly on a tailgate swing carrier? Thats the size tire Im going with and want to make sure it will clear the rear bumper on the rear carrier.

was wondering the same thing.

My tires measure out to about 31.5 and it fits fine. I have a step bumper on back that sticks out more than the sport bumpers so I'd think that 33's should fit fine. The weight may be an issue to consider too.

Bouncytruck how much space do you have left between the bottom of the tire to the bumper? I dont want to put the tire carrier back on if it wont clear but I need to determine that before body and paint work and I wont be able to get the tires untill after paint.

Here's a 33" tire on a dealer installed carrier.

My tire touches the bumper but the bumper sticks out further than a factory sport bumper.

Here are the pictures of the tire bracket on my Blazer, I am running 33x12.50x15 also on mine, there is plenty of room for it on the bracket.

If you need any other shots or anything let me know

Thanks JBerno! I like that look. You have a different carrier then I do. Mine is like Bobbyk's. Thanks for the help and pic.

My rack is like K's also. And have 33's on it. Most of the tire hangs out behind the bumper. But I just went out to look at mine, and in only has about 1/4 in. between tire & bumper. But it fits..Too late & cold to take a good picture, but found one on here. I've had several different brands of 33's on it through the years. They all seem to fit. Hope this helps.
