Default Spare tire question (315/75/16)

I have 315's on my H3, My question is will a 315/75/16 fit on the facory spare tire mount? I know it fits on the rim and the factory black cover will not fit but does it hit the rear door, the local shop is saying it will not fit. I find that hard to believe. thanks

it will fit with no problems you'll have about 1/2 inch from it hitting the rear wiper.

Yep. It'll fit! Tire Monkeys tell people things that are NOT true all the time!

Are you really sure they'll fit??

There just doesn't seem to be enough evidence to convince people beyond a shadow of a doubt.

It kills me everytime I see a supposed Tire Professional make excuses to not try it. Sounds like they were just too lazy to pick up the wheel and try it on the carrier. It gives us a bad name.

Every time I see 315's on a white H3 my heart starts to beat wildly of what mine will look like soon. The Duratracs look so so nice on there.


Sorry to hijack the thread
