Re: what size spare tire?
I'm gonna assume this is for the swing away vs. the interior hoop, right?
33" shouldn't be an issue, depending on rim depth (Rubbing)

Re: what size spare tire?
I'm running the stock 235/85R16 which is basically 31.5" tall. I do have a step bumper on back, but clearance isn't an issue.

Re: what size spare tire?
I think a 33 is about all the weight it will handle.

Re: what size spare tire?
