Sorry about the stupid question, but then again I was probably stupid not getting the fifth tire in the first place. Anyway yeah just want to know if I have to invert the carrier which I think I don't. I ordered the tire already so need to know. Thanks for the help!! By the way, say I got a flat and had to put the spare on, which had the stock goodyear, would that cause damage to the axels or driveline because the BFGs are a little taller?

Yes it should. I'm getting 29.9" for diameter and that should work fine without inverting the carrier.

If you had a spare tire smaller than your other four tires on a disco II then the traction control may activate due to the different tire speeds - pull the fuse to stop it
