Bed lights and Roush spare

[Asinine]

Hi. Got a couple questions I haven't found answered:

1. My Roush Raptor has the stock spare with 315/70/17 tire. Will the 35x12.50x20 KO2 on a Roush wheel fit in that location without touching the exhaust or other parts?

2. Any way to get the bed lights to turn on automatically when I lower the tailgate? My bakflip blocks the cab light.

Thanks.

1. I can't imagine it not fitting. The difference between a 315/70/17 and a 35x12.5x20 is only .6" total diameter, so only .3" radius bigger. I bet you would be fine. But go ahead and try it out for yourself and see.

2. I highly doubt it. There is no sensor that tells the truck that your tailgate is down. So unless you add a switch somewhere by the tailgate and hard wire it to the bed lights, you are SOL..

My 35” Nitto RG in 20” Rotiform fits perfectly you will be fine there.
