    I just recently replaced my stock 16" wheels with Monster 17" wheels & tires. Will a 17" wheel fit under my spare tire well?

    I have a 285/70/17 under the bed, its pretty much the biggest that will fit, but you need to do some work to make it squeeze in there.

    I have my exhaust chopped before the axle, and also bent the little spare tire locating tabs on the frame outwards. Even then, I pull the tire back against the tow hitch as I pull it up the last inch or two, and it clears the rear differental and axle by an inch or two.

    Edit: I have a 2nd gen, but the area and fitment should be the same for 3rd gens.

    Okay thanks. Yeah I currently have the exhaust chopped after the axle but I’m gonna look into it.
