Default Will this spare fit on my carrier?

I have a stock carrier and have gotten larger wheels. The tire is 33x12.5/15 and the wheel has an 3.25 BS and -30mm offset. Any one know if it will fit on my carrier?

I don't see why not, with such little backspacing it's gonna be hanging out pretty far, and I don't think the tire is big enough to hit the bumper regardless. On a side note you might have problems with a 15'' rim rubbing on the brake caliper, or is that the reason for the low backspacing?

Should be no problem. It probably will hang off a little bit though

It sounds like it should fit.

My 35x12.50 x17 with 4.5 bs fits back there. Your tire is gonna be hangin out there with that amount of bs putting stress on the thin sheet metal. Short term you might wanna get the MBRP tire carrier support.

its better to just keep it in the back then buy a new tail gate. I have seen many of them get f-d up due to oversize tires
