Has anybody mounted a 35 on a factory akuminum wheel and put it under there? I havent tried yet but the center bore for the factory aluminim wheel looks too small to fit the piece with cable to fit through..........

Hey i had the same issue with AEV wheel the center bore was too small so with someone’s advice on here i cut a slot in the wheel keeper so i could slide it off the cable, then put the plate on the other side of the wheel & it worked great.

Before I give it a try, I have 20x9 w/33x12.5. Would this wheel/tire setup fit in spare compartment? Thanks for input.

Without deflating it took a lot of wiggling. I placed a piece of plastic/fabric insulation between the wheel and the winch plate to prevent scratching. I would imagine if I dropped it to 10psi it would squish up nicely. No squeaking.

My 35x12.5 fits fine with plenty of room so I am sure it will fit. Rim size shouldn't impact fit, its the overall size of the tire that would be an issue. Your 33" tire will fit fine as its smaller than a 35 and many people have fit 37s under there.

Thanks for the feedback. I will give it a shot and reply back with the results.

The wheel size doesn't, matter, the tire size does a 33 inch tire is the same size as a stock Rubicon. But watch the center hole diameter in a after market wheel, I used my stock spare wheel , the total roiling diameter will be the same as you 20 inch wheel.

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 I have a 35 12 1/2 x 17 NATO Terra grappler on a 17 x 9 fuel wheel went up underneath there with no problem just hangs down real low kind of ruins your rear Clarence a little bit

As others have said, zero issue with my 35 trail grapplers, plenty of room.
