Spare Tire Advice

[Equilibrium31]

Quick question. I have a stock 99 tj sport with 17 inch wheels on it. Im thinking of putting 245/75/17 tires on it but was currious how much they might rub. I dont plan on doing a lot of off roading with it just yet but the 31s lookngood on your jeep and woukd be essentially the same size. Do you rub alot with your set up

I don't have any rubbing with 31s, but I imagine if I were to go offroad and flex a bit, it wouldn't take much to rub the fenders. However, that's partly because I have a bit of sag in the front after adding a steel bumper and winch. I'm planning on adding a 2" lift to handle that eventually though.

If the OP still needs longer snubbers (rubber stops for the spare) try sandwiching extra snubbers and longer screws. Or get HF rubber mallet heads if it's way off. they work well too.

Did you extend the snubbers? If you did it shouldn’t be hitting the bumper. I just did 31’s myself and extended the snubbers secured the tire right and kept it from hitting the bumper.

Go to harbor freight and buy two rubber mallets $2.99 each. Buy three M6 bolts 70mm long. Cut the rubber off the mallets to fit the gap you need, drill a hole and put the bolt through the new spacer and the snubber - all done. Works great.
