I just extended the bolts out a little and reset the cover and the wheel. My question is by having the tire reversed has any one found this puts more stress on the tire holder than was intended?   Timothy A.

Too much?, who knows. I moved up to 265/75R16s and the spare has caused the door to sag slightly, not beyond use, but it drags a bit on the catch when closing. The worst thing I see with your setup is the increased danger in bumping the spare and causing damage to the rear door.   Robin Cooper (Cooper1) Member Username: Cooper1 Post Number: 74 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Friday, April 16, 2004 - 01:17 am:    what kind of CB do you have?   Robin Cooper (Cooper1) Member Username: Cooper1 Post Number: 75 Registered: 12-2003 Posted on Friday, April 16, 2004 - 01:18 am:    O, and what size bolts did you use for the extension?   Matt Milbrandt (95discovery) Dweb Lounge Member Username: 95discovery Post Number: 202 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Friday, April 16, 2004 - 11:27 am:    There is enough room back there for the CB antenna and mount without reversing the spare tire.
