37 inch spare tire

[Gmanjeeper]

I dont.....just had the 1 left.

What size spacer? An with the spacer I will be able to run my 37” BFG as a spare on the front or back? My other four BFGs are on fuel off road 17x9 after market wheels and I have a 2.5 Clayton off road lift.

I bet you can. That should fit from what I see. I still have 2 used spare 37" KO2's that are worn down a bit that will definitely fit. I'm about to chunk them. Free for whomever can use them if you are near North Texas.

I carry a 2" spacer. With the spacer you should be able to run the spare front or rear, though if you have the choice I would run it on the rear over the front.

Now if I could just find a reasonable 37 for a spare here in central Florida...

Thanks. Any thoughts as to where I can buy just one spacer? I have tried several vendors and all sell them by the pair.

In case anyone is interested, I had a tire shop test my BFG KO2 37” spare tire, which is on my JTR steel factory spare tire wheel, on the front end and it fit at full turn both right and left without rubbing (and without a spacer). I assume, then, that it will also fit on the rear. (I did not drive it, just tested it while on the floor of the shop).

So if one manages to get the 37 on a spare up in location...is the wheel actually usable in the event of a flat?
Isn’t the offset or back space on the steel spare rim not going to work on a lifted Jeep anyways?
Is everyone just mounting a good 5th rim with proper offset as a spare or do you plan to use the steely with spacer?

I realize that this probably more directed to those that are using offset wheels and 37s and not for those that have chosen the Stock wheels and spacer route.

My local shop test fitted my BFG KO2 37” spare tire which is on factory steel wheel and it fit on front with no spacer and no rubbing at full turn in both directions. I assume it will also fit on the rear.

Patagonia 37 won’t fit with stock rim. Aired down to 8psi and I feel like it did nothing. Will have to play around with it some more once I have an extra set of hands to help.

My open country r/t did not fit. Picked up a Konati trail hog 37x12.5x17 for the spaer. It is a tight fit with 17x9 rim. Had to air it down a little.

I just tried to fit my 37" Toyo open country M/T which is mounted on the stock steel wheel. No dice. It would get hung up on the passenger side frame. I even aired it down to 4 psi nothing . Anyone on here modify the stock shield in order for it to fit?

Just got Nitto Trail Grappler 37s on mine. It fits in the spare location just barely. It touches the track bar and hitch fully inflated. I was gonna drop it to 20-25 pressure to see if it’s easier.

I have the same on some Method 17” and it just does touch the track bar…looks like COR is going to have another new customer…

Here to resurrect this discussion. I have the 37x12.5x17 Nitto Ridge Grappler spare installed on my ‘21 JTR. The wheel is the Method 703. Fully inflated, it rubs up against the tow hitch receiver just a tad. Otherwise, everything else is clear.

I know someone posted earlier that they fit a Nitto Ridge Grappler 37 inch spare tire under their gladiator aired up. Anyone else been able to do that with that brand or any other?

37X12.50 Yokohama Geolander G003s had to be "persuaded" into place with a floor jack, but fit fully-aired. The Geos, are one of the truest 37s out there, so most others should fit.

So I repositioned the Yokohama in 37” by removing the to bolts to the heat shield for flex and I got the new Clayton Off-road rear track bar. Fits up there really well. Track bar is another beefy-ass product from COR. Worth it to me...as the spare was rubbing when the weather got warm.

Oh sweet thanks for posting this. I'm going to get that Clayton too and run an aired down 38" Ridge Grappler under there.

For those that are interested.
the Konati Mud Hogs 37x12.5r17 also fit on the spare steelie fully aired to 37psi

like others say, it’s tight but it fits.

someone should start a list of wheels and tires with sizes for quick reference. Not it.
