Don't like the temporary spare because I'm going to be towing a travel trailer soon.
So I got some new (other than SRA) tires today.
3 weeks ago I got a brand new SRA under the road hazard warrantee. So I scored a 20 inch chrome rim and had that SRA mounted to be my spare. Almost the same chrome clad that's on my truck.
I ground down the holder piece on the winch line so it would pass thru the small diameter where the hub cap goes.
Right now the tire is stem up, (outside of the tire up).
However the winch seems to be bottomed out and I still need to raise the tire about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch to get it tight to the frame.
I actually rounded out the female piece that goes into the male crank piece of the winch.
Am I bottomed out? Is there some other issue?
Or do I need to mount the tire the the way because of the offset?
Help!
Thanks in advance
