Yup, I've got a 31" spare mounted inside the back of my ' 99 and it IS a tight fit.RichP said:the 31" is a really really tight fit in the stock location.
No, the circumference would be the same and you would shortly have two flats.Timber said:What if you aired down the tires on the Jeep to match the spare's height? Could you then use a smaller spare with a locker or limited slip?
You're technically correct in terminology; however, when I typed "height" I meant it literally (you don't know me, so I shouldn't have expected you to know that I'm an exceptionally literal person). Why would this result in two flats, though?langer1 said:No, the circumference would be the same and you would shortly have two flats.
It’s not the height it’s the circumference, the smaller tire needs to turn faster than the large one, and that would cause your locker to lock
Heat buildup in the all most flat 31" would ruin it.Timber said:You're technically correct in terminology; however, when I typed "height" I meant it literally (you don't know me, so I shouldn't have expected you to know that I'm an exceptionally literal person).

Thanks it means a lot coming from an "exceptionally literal person"Timber said:I hadn't thought of that (obviously); that makes some sense. Thanks.
