Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hi i just got myself a 35" spare finally...
but i put it on the back door..


now the left door dosnt realy fit past well it dose with some shoving...

but i wanted to know who has got the same problem and the best way to fix it ??

cheers

A 35 on a ten inch rim will clear no worries because the tyre is being pulled wider, therefore not as tall as say on a eight inch rim. I have had 35s on the back on an 8 inch rim but tyre has to be quite bald to clear small door.

Or sometimes spacing the spare out with some washers etc may make a little more clearance.

Let the air pressure down` It worked for me with a new kelly tyre.

And re drill the door hinge stop` To stop the tyre from smashing the tail light.

Just take off the spare wheel bracket and slot the holes a little this moves the carrier over closer to the indicator, worked fine on my truck.

yup most run the spare with no air makes a good difference in clearance.

how long will the door last though ? have heard that 35's on the door start to bend the door etc.. true ? or BS ?

ahhh

ok thanks will try a few things... os for it bending the door herm dunno... maby i gess i will find out in a few months

My skinny standard split rims are heaver than the 35"
I call BS

I had a 35 on a 10 inch rim hung off my rear door for 3 years and had no problems with the door but the bracket eventually cracked at the top two bolts holding the wheel. My bracket was redrilled so it moved an inch to the right but the tyre did hit the indicator when the door was fully opened.

A mate of mine tried a different approach and moved the rim higher on the bracket so that it was only sitting on the top two bolts and the tyre leaned into the roof at the top. He drove his like that for a few years too.

Just don't try to put a high lift jack on with a 35 as I know a guy who pulled the bracket out of their door skin doing it.

My advise is to slot the holes as allterrain2000 said.
