I have a 245/75-16 under there. I don't know if anything bigger would fit, there isn't much more room.

I think you can get up to a 31" tire under there. Another option is to go with a 245/70/17 and mount it to the spare rim. Its like .03" difference from a 245/75/16 iirc. |

Not sure what you mean, but stock size spares fit and come with KK with factory tow. Overs size fits but not sure how big I believe it's 245-75-16. I think Dirty KK knows how big and I'm sure it's on here too. But I never have luck with search! |

Hope your aunt is feeling ok after the accident, or better yet that it was totaled because of Hurricane Sandy flooding, not a traumatic accident. I would look for factory add ons like a rear hitch, tow package components, heated mirrors, and roof rack crossbars. If she has crossbars and you don't need them, let me know. I am looking for a pair. |

The average insurance person probably wouldn't notice if 1/3 of the parts were missing as long as it isn't obvious like the seats or something. I just wouldn't want it to come back to my aunt. |

I think E2 managed to get a 235/85 16 where the spare goes. I feel like someone got bigger in there, but it had to be flat. Not sure who, if anyone though. Anyways, as long as the rims didn't meet salt water I say take them. Anything that meets salt water, no mater how fast it was washed off is garbage. |

People drive on the beach every day.

Ted, you would honestly be surprised. we just scrapped 4 rims for my uncle's F-250 the other day. They were underwater for the 2 days of water that was in the yard, and we got them out maybe 3 days later. You should have seen how bad they were already. Salt water is a killer for anything and everything... |

Oh yea, no doubt. I spent a lot of time riding navy ships, that salt water is very destructive. I didn't think that it would do that much damage in such a short time though, at least not on wheels and stuff like that.

I read somewhere, someone stuffed a 32" tire under there, but I can't find it now. |

I think 31+ may work but not 32. There's a guy in Canada who put 33's on his along with a custom lift. He had to remove the pinch weld, wheel well liners and his shocks had internal bumpstops. All depends how motivated ya are I guess. He did a lot to make it happen including bumpers. When I get a chance I'll find a link, he had those things stuffed too. The rear control arms length had to be changed also. |

The rear control arms length had to be changed also. Nevermind. My train of thought was completely detailed.  For some reason I was thinking wheel well not spare, duh. You wouldn't want to go any wider than a 245. Mine is actually lower than the hitch by almost an inch. Besides, if you're wheeling and get stuck and for some reason you need the spare, you'll have to dig a pretty big hole to get it out of there.
