Default EVO Tire carrier with 35 Trail Grapplers??

I really want the EVO tire carrier but I am only going to be running 35'' tires. Would the carrier be overkill/look silly with only 35s? I want the front quarter pounder stinger as well. Id like both bumpers to be the same brand. I just dont want the rear carrier to look unproportional with the 35'' tire on my stock rubi wheels.

I might be wrong but I thought you needed the tire carrier with 35s

He is asking if 35s are too small to use with this particular carrier.

OP--there are a couple of pics floating around with 35s mounted on it. Try to find those, or maybe they will post up. It's all a matter of personal taste.

Thanks guys. Yeah I have looked at a few but it is harder to tell when looking at photos. I recently found the GenRight steel Tire carrier and it looks like it may suit my needs a little better. Im just afraid of going with different products because I really dont want a calico jeep if you know what I mean.

I think it will look fine with 35's. They are a heavier tire so it would be a good purchase
