So, tried to mount the spare 35" Nitto MG on the stock tailgate mount, but it just won't fit. Looks like I need longer studs. I've actually never heard that in my house though....needing a longer stud to mount something.

That's a good thing that you've never heard that in your house, but that's just TMI

I have the same tires and my wheel has 5.25" backspacing. The tire made contact with the CMSL and the bumper before it would seat on the carrier. I've read threads on here of people using wheel spacers to move them out and fit. This may work for you depending on you backspacing. It just gave me an excuse to buy a new bumper/swing out tire carrier.
