Hey, you guys runnin' 35" spares on stock tire carriers, what width wheels are you using? 8", 10"? Backspacing? I don't want to add too much more weight to the carrier by spacing the wheel out for a deep-dish 10-wide wheel. Lemmeknow

 

Maybe you could just get a duckbill hammer and some spoons. Then you'd only need to keep a tire, not a wheel too.

Anyhow. Again, not to answer the question, but to provoke thought: a 35" tire, with any type of wheel, is lots of weight for the stock rack to take. maybe you could look into mounting one to your bumper. Then you could use any wheel you have already and not worry about anything tearing, stretching or bouncing away.

 

not a good idea to run that big of a tire on the carrier. get a rear bumper that has the carrier mounted to it. best way to go

 

Kem is right. A tire that size will turn your fender (and possibly the rack) into a pretzel over time.

Hey Fresno, do you think you're funny?

Yes, thanks to all for the BS. I DID NOT ask for opinions. That does not answer my question. When I get the money, I'm getting a custom made tire carrier, but that's a few months away.

It's funny because people who ask simple questions, wanting simple answers, never get that on this great website. It's a shame It's almost like people are wanting to reply just to get they're post number higher, you know!


I do appreciate moderators stepping in for support. You have to think these people don't know what they're doing.

 

Yikes! Definately got off the wrong side of the bed. Lighten up!

 

Just like that

 

hope your not taking what was said by me as being bs. it wont matter what rim you use the tire is still to big. the only people that may run a 35 on the carrier are pavement pounders . Are you a pavement pounder

 

I just wanted to reply to make my post number higher.

Thanks

 

Me too.

What's with the attitude, South Oregon? This is a community where people share thoughts, ideas, and opinions, not a question and answer session for your benefit.

 

Man, he was just joltin you a little, take it easy south oregon.

 

No, YOU take it easy!




SERENITY NOW!!!!

 

LoL

 

I like this guy. Listen, I just asked a simple question, maybe it's my fault for not specifying that I'm not a pavement pounder, or that I have an attitude, or whatever. I just want my question answered. That's all. See, I thought I could post and get a simple post back. Just like it used to be. Nowadays everyone has to put their two cents in.

I value your opinion Kemical, but FYI, ya gotta do whatcha gotta do!. LOL

How does a question about trucks turn into a therapy session? Anyone? I'm trying to lighten the mood

 

i see were you are coming from. but what you do need to understand is that i am just trying to for warn you of issue doing what your asking. Thats all. my tailgate is shot, totally coming apart and i only have a 31" on there. Tailgates are not cheap or easy to come by.
good luck
