Re: Sierra Spare wheel on stock mount
Turning spare around and/or shortening or lengthening the rubber protectors can help with width..
Too much height can foul on the bumper.
Some people have had hinge and panel damage with the extra weight.
Proper bracing behind door could enable moving of the mount, tho not looked into it.
My spare is a 31 x 10:50 on a stock rim.
I put it on backwards with no major issues.
Never broken mine.
