Okay Ted, I'm gonna try a 265/70/16 General Grabber AT 2, and see if it will fit.

BTW, how do you like those tires?

They're ok but sometimes it feels like I have a flat. They're e rated, probably a but much for a light vehicle. That's the only thing I can think of anyway. Great traction on and off road. Would I but them again? Probably not. I want something a little more aggressive, more of a mud tire.

Honestly, I would like a more aggressive tire as well, but I don't want to have to settle on the "standard" 245/75/16.

That one isn't from Detoures. It looks like it was patterned after one of their tailbones. He puts his spare much higher.

A lite vehicle? My KK weighs around 2 1/2 tons- 5000 lbs. Was on a scale yesterday with about 3/4 tank of gas.

Really? They don't seem that heavy.

Yep! The weight they post is dry weight base model. Everything adds up. Plus I carry a lot of stuff. But I always wondered how people could describe the Liberty has a brick then say its light. Kind of like when NASCAR started racing trucks and car guys said that the heavier trucks would tear up the tracks. The trucks were lighter.

Okay guys, I ended up going with Nitto Terra Grapplers in a 265/70/16 on my TJ Moabs, and the tire fits perfectly in the spare tire well.

There is even some room to "spare"

How far does it set below the rear bumper? My 245/75-16 is about 2" below the mopar hitch.

I forgot to mention, that I do not have a tow hitch.
It is probably about 3" below the bumper cover, I will measure it though.

One of the disadvantages of it being there like that is offroad. Mine gets bounced off of occasionally, that is when I don't have my carrier mounted. They really screwed the pooch with that design, it should've never been moved from the rear. But, I don't think they should've stopped putting solid axels on either. :2cents:
