I wonder if you could install an angled piece under the tray somehow so that the spare sits nose down bum up? And whether that would give the extra length needed.
Cowboy Dave wrote:No I didn't modify it. I tend to only fit that spare when going on trips (muddies as play tyres). I found that if I cranked the winder up til it was almost tight, then push the tyres as far left as it would go without touching the spring hanger, then crank it up tight it would sit a little off centre. I know that doesn't sound possible but it did seem to sit that way for some reason. I haven't detected any heat impacts on the spare as yet although I have seen others with tailpipes that sat closer than mine (especially with the larger 3 inch pipes).
If I was permanently running those bigger sizes I would move the pipe I think.

Duck: this is the main idea I am leaning towards but I can not find anywhere or anyone that has a rack mounting system to suit a tonneau cover. I was even prepared to get a new hard cover as the factory one has a gentle curve in it and isn't incredibly sturdy as well as the fact that the struts probably wouldn't hold up with a 33's weight. But it would be the ideal situation.

Jflow78 wrote:Hey guys,
Any more answers to this issue?? I have just put 285/70/70 - 33's on my 2014 Triton and also got a spare which I new would be tight but not this tight.
The tyre is almost on the exhaust and also the passenger side suspension not to mention the rear diff...
I assume I can mod the exhaust to make more clearance and then push the wheel over more so it clears the suspension.. Just worried about the rear diff etc.
I guess I could get the 33 off and get a 32 on that would get me out of trouble but rather keep the brand new 33 on there. Any help is much appreciated.
Cheers
