Spare Tire hitting exhaust on mini!

sstyota said:

I'm shocked....I could of sworn i've seen those minis with the longtravel lifts holding 33" tires in the spare tire holder. But I cranked my 32" tire up today and it went up, but was slightly touching the exhaust. 31's would definately work. But it was tapping the exhaust.

Is it a bad idea to keep the 32" up under there. It is barely on the exhaust. This is a used 32" tire i got for 25 bucks.

What do yall think? Should I run this or just get a 31" spare?

Sounds like you have a cool mini, or really a pre-runner with all you have done to it (xcept no locker) but, I would advise against running different size tires on your rear axel. The front wouldnt matter though. You may want to look into re-routing the exhaust piping a bit. Hell, I fit a 35" under my truck since I cut the exhaust afdter the muffler (but it is damn close to the springs)! To fit it, I cut off the ears on the mounts. Doing this also allows me to offset the tire about an inch or so to one side. May be another option for you.
