Default Mounting a 315 spare - a little help

Now that I've got my (4) 35" MTZ's, I want to get a fifth and mount the spare but it looks like there is no way it will fit without crushing the rear wiper. What have you guys (gals) don't to fit the larger tires on the spare? Thanks.

I think if you do go that route..you will have to put a couple of spacer/washers on the mount where the studs come through..

sounds simple enough, thanks.

(after I posted, I thought that I was going to be told todo a "search"- sorry if it was a stupid question)

I'm using the 35" MT Toyo's and it's very close but doesn't touch the wiper at all. You might just want to put it up there and check the spacing.

YES THE 35 WILL FIT. I HAVE THE 35 TOYOS AND NO PROBLEMS WITH IT HITTING WIPER.

Thanks for the guidance. I think that with the tread the MTZ's are a little wider, but I'll give it the 'ole college try.

Im fixin to step up to a 315 soon here but the clearance I'm worried about is the ladder from my gobi rack. Its looking like its not gonna fit......anybody have big tires and a gobi ladder?

My 351-75-16 BFG MT fit fine.Sounds like the MTZ's are a little bigger given the same size because some have said they rub the stablizer bars.

I've got 325's on mine and I simply used about 5 standard thickness washers on the 3 studs and got the clearance I needed. Your tires will probably need less than 5 like mine did.
