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?
i guess I will mount it on there and see how it holds up.i just got the toyo open countrys mounted on the rallys and didn't want it ripping out the mounts on the sheetmetal.
