Re: Spare Tires!
Original swing-away. My tires are around 31" tall. I don't think you could go much bigger though. It does rattle a bit and the tire rubs on the bumper. You also have to open the rear tire to get to the rear hatch.

Re: Spare Tires!
I took my original swing away off for the exact reasons that Bouncytruck mentions above.
It rubbed right through the chrome on the original bumper, and I get into my rear hatch at least 2-3 times a day, so it got to be a headache. I went to the original inside mount with a 31" tire on that. |
