So I recently realized that my spare tire set up is probably a ticking time bomb in that since I've had the full size spare, the tire hasn't been touching the rubber snubbers. I was reading about the fix that
@Chris posted, but I feel like the tire is still way too far away for 1/2 of a snubber extension to even make contact.

So then I looked closer and realized that there appears to be an extension on the spare mount... if that's even what that is?? I'm not sure what a stock mount looks like so I don't really know...

Some might ask why I don't know if there's an extension if I put the tire on, but I am personal friends w the owner of a local tire/wheel shop, so he ordered me the tire/wheel and did everything for free. so I don't really know if they put an extension on bc he didn't charge me for anything and didn't mention any sort of extension...
anyway, now I just want to get it fixed before I tear up the hinges more than I already have
