Wheel spacer?Lol
It's somewhere I another thread on here but a 35 is wwwwaaaayyyou to heavy for the stock spare carrier. It needs to have additional vertiCal support that is tied to the bumper to be functional

Wheel spacer was a thought and yes will be supported from bumper to carrier for the additional weight. I have seen the threads about stock with no support but haven't crossed one saying it doesn't fit.

Just make a spacer between the tire carrier frame and the bracket that holds the tire. Get a foot or so of 1-1/2" square and bolt it between the two mounting surfaces.

That's a great and simple solution.

Those were both my ideas. Not the washers but longer studs or spacing the bracket thanks guys
