Just picked up a new 2020 Gladiator....I was under the impression a 35" spare would fit underneath. My dealer is telling me they were unable to get it to fit underneath. Does anyone have a 35" spare underneath????

Yes, my 315 70R 17 BFG K02 fits with plenty of room to spare. It might be slightly less than true 35, about 34.6" but I assure you a true 35" tire will certainly fit.

Thanks for the input! Should it fit without any alterations?

Fits fine- They have to push forward as it is cranked up - it does catch if you have a hitch. Gave mine a swift kick in the tire and popped right into place - 17x9 wheel They may not want to do it. but it can be done

35x12.5 Nitto on OEM wheel under mine, no issues at all. I watched the guys who did my tires lift it up, went right in.

Not sure I'd take my vehicle back to that dealer for anything.
