I figured out today that my spare tire, which I've never had to use, was rocking in the mount. It turns out the tire is pushed forward by my undermount hitch so the tire can't be fastened down. Has anyone gotten their spare to fit under there with a hitch?

 

The stock spare fits in between my factory hitch set-up. Stock and factory are the key words. I can't get a 285/75/16 under there. Something I have been meaning to address.

I have stock tires, but the hitch is pretty big and it pushes the tire forward. In fact, when the hitch was installed, they cut off the round piece at the end of the bracket that holds up the tire. The last owner left the bolt in the bracket but didn't fasten down the tire.
