37" spare fitting under the bed?

RAMYOU · Jun 28, 2015

It "looks" like if I move some things around a bit, maybe I can fit my 37 inch spare tire under the bed where it used to hold the stock spare. Has anyone tried that yet? I have so much empty space under there

that I dont know what to do with it. The #1 option is to use it for a spare tire and if that ends up absoluteley not working then maybe a big ass rear winch and a train horn? :crazy:

Power wagon owners claimed the only way a 35" tire was to beat the heat shield out of the way and even then it was really cramped. So a 37 would have no chance of fitting unless you remove the heat shield completely.

shucks... looks life a roof rack " no thanks with a 37" or a tire gate.

hmmmm. I will try to modify the heatshield and try my best to fit it under. a tire gate will prolly block my rear view cam and a roof rack will peel off my roof when I enter my garage lol but I will let u guys know after I try at it

Yesterday I put my new spare under the truck, I have a 2015 PW 17" wheel with a Nitto G2 285/75 on it, and it all barely fit under there, but it fits. I think the Nitto is a 35" tire.

I was able to fit a 35x12.50 under my 2012 Power Wagon. It was a tight fit though, didn't see any way a 37 would fit under there...

I agree, dont think a 37" will fit with the shield in place.

I have a tire plug kit which doesn't damage the tire anymore so it'll be great unless a tire gets blown out.
I only have 35s so I could put the spare on, i'll just be leaning.

I like the idea of putting a which under there, wonder how that would set up

Not even so much about the shield, that can be removed. the rear of the tire was touching the hitch and the front was extremely close to contacting the rear axle when compressed/articulated. You'd be slamming the axle into the tire all the time with a 37...

So, I incorrectly measured the distance between the rear frame rails - its actually 36". Sooo in conclusion: 37" spare tire WILL NOT fit under the bed of these trucks. Also yes what myoung84 said above is true.

37" spare fitting under the bed?
