35x12.5 r17 spare tire

[Hawaii_Built]

Has anyone put a 35x35x12.5 on their stock spare rim? I'd like to get a spare that is the same height as the tires I'm running.

My 35x12.5 18 wouldn’t fit so I ripped all the stuff off lol. It might fit aired down but I don’t wanna air down the tire. Other have fit 35” with airing them down.

Did the tire mount okay on the 17" steel spare rim?

Curious to see how your 35s (40psi) looks under the bed. Could you please share some photos? I've been searching the pages and haven't found one.

Not willing to lay in my wet driveway at the moment but this should give you an idea.

How’s your clearance with the exhaust? I’ve heard that’s the biggest obstacle.

It fits inside the heat shield.

Yeah but is your factory spare tire carrier/cable and winch mechanism strong enough to hold thatuch weight??

Hell if I know. It’s been since Aug and 7k. I don’t beat on my truck but it’s been off-road a good bit since and the spare seems to be holding strong.

Thanks for sharing the pics. At first I thought you had to remove the heat shield. This was very helpful.

Happy to help

Well I guess if the original spare you had hanging up there was a full size spare, you’ll probably be fine but I wouldn’t imagine those designers would’ve made a spare tire carrier any stronger to support anything heavier than that if one of them smaller donut spares is what you had hanging there before.

I guess if it breaks I’ll figure something else out. I’m not too concerned as they obviously weren’t concerned putting the 33inch duratrac up there. And I doubt the PW comes with a different spare carrier than every other Ram.

I’ve never seen a doughnut spare on a full size truck. They are made for hauling and towing so they all have full size spares.

Well, I guess I would suppose if you previously had a 33” full size spare hanging from there once before that you’d probably be fine with that big 35” but spare tire carriers aren’t created equally- at least not in looks or part number wise, anyways. Spare Carrier - Mopar (68230304AB) for Ram 1500...

...and-

Spare Carrier - Mopar (68303633AA) for Ram 2500.

Maybe you have nothing to worry about but I’ve just always wondered about what it would be like to drop a spare going down the road at highway speed if that cable were to ever break.
