Spare tire

When you put larger tires on your EX do you change out the spare tire to the same size? What is the largest tire the stock spare tire holder can handle?

The stock location can hold a 315 series tire. It's usually best (especially if you have a locker or limited slip) to have the same size spare. It doesn't have to be the same width, only the same height.

Would the 20's from the Superduties with the stock tire fit in the spare tire carrier.

yes, the stock 20 is smaller than a 315 series so it will fit in there. The bottom of the carrier is removeable to allow larger tires to fit.

I am still waiting to fabricate a receiver mounted spare carrier rather than purchasing one for 600.

I just noticed a nicer rear hitch spare mount in the latest Off Road Adventures Mag (4 wheel Parts). It is made by Wilco Products I am sure you could find it on the web somewhere. It is almost $700 but has some good ideas if you are going to fab something yourself. At least worth taking a look at.
