Spare tire question

I got my 4" MBRP installed today but they had remove my spare because it would not fit. The spare is 315 so im scratching my head what to do with the spare. I guess find something to secure it in the back that is my only thought.

Can you try pushing it off towards the driver's side of the truck as you crank it up in place? you just might have enough room.... maybe...

I had to put my spare in the bed. Even with pushing it forward like Brendan said it still wouldnt fit.

You must be running smaller tires.

im running 285's with a 5" exhaust..i had to push the tire as far back to the tail light as i could get and I have a couple inches to spare...but i dont have that junk cable that never works when you need it... i use threaded rod and 2 flat steel plates...this way if i needed to i could notch out the sub frame a little for the tire to slide over more...
