I have a 35" MTR on my stock carrier. It fits perfectly without a spacer. I have had no issues with it or the tailgate.

You can always have it will like 10 psi so it doesn't weight as much that's what i will be doing and in case of an emergency just air it up

Got a 315/70R17 GY Duratrac on mine (wheel is an AEV Pintler). Fits fine, no spacers needed.
