Default 10A bumper hole - add tire carrier?

What are my options for adding a swing-away tire carrier to the stock hole cut in the right side of the 10A bumper? I'm assuming at one time Jeep must've had an option for one because why would they put the opening there?
Thanks in advance.

It's the AEV swing that works. However, is over $700. The other thing some people don't like is that it is offset to the passenger side, so with a tire cutout in the bumper like yours, it looks funny.

I have ARB bumpers and the back has the holes you can punch out and put a tire carrier. The AEV tire carrier will fit in it, but it would be off centered like said above. So I wonder if a ARB tire carrier would work in an AEV bumper. It would be centered, so that's a plus. But it is expensive just like the AEV. In fact the carrier cost more than the bumper.... that's why I have a teraflex carrier lol. Just some thoughts.

Default OPTIONS for Tire Carrier

One option not yet mentioned, but probably not that common, is the route I'm taking. I'm in the process of designing and fabricating my own.
