so in theory, it doesnt fit at all? if its not inside the rail, i assume its crooked?
It's flat from the rear.. the tire bulges so much on the 7.5" wheel, the sidewall is smashed into the tire supports underneath..

I'm about to use a 9.5" rim for my spare... wonder if it will fit.

Taking the rim to get repaired soon. Then will get it all mounted....
If it is a no go, I may look for a swing away spare carrier.

Let us know what you end up with.

I'm on a 2.5in Clayton Overland Plus lift. -18 offset and Sport S geared to 4.88.
No rubbing on factory skid, mopar steel bumper, or control arms. I am nervous about full flex and will swap to a Rubicon fender and most likely trim it with the quake kit or something similar..
I have stuffed 35s in my fenders and it cleared

If you switch to a rubi flare you shouldnt need to trim it, but will need ~2.5" of bump stop. 39's on a trimmed rubi flare still rub fully stuffed need about 3" inches (also the clayton 2.5)

So any others who have mounted....how are they riding for you?
I took one off the truck yesterday to put the wheel center cap in place since the tire store didnt on one because it fell apart.
I am not sure if taking that wheel/tire off yesterday did something, or the cold weather this morning, but they ride a bit more rough in the feel of the steering this morning. A little more shaky in the wheel etc.
The other days i have driven have all been in warm afternoons though instead of early cold mornings. Not sure if that has something to do with it.

What about you all?

Depending on the overall difference in temperature, the cold can make the tires stiffer.

What width of rims is everyone running? 8.5"-9"? What kind of offset?
No clue...No one has ever thought to mention those things in this page of 21 pages.

That sounds like it could be air pressure related with the temp change? Pressure change much?
