Will a 37" KO2 fit in the OEM spare tire location?

[Eggorian]

So I bought a set of five 37" x 12.5" x 17" BFG KO2's based on some information from a non-local shop that this tire and wheel size would fit in the OEM spare tire location. When I bought five wheels and tires from the local shop, I was told (after purchase) that these will not fit in the OEM spare location.

Anyone have any experience with this? Will it fit? Are any modifications needed to make it fit? Thanks

I have been told, not confirmed that BFG K02 37's are the smallest running 37's out there. Can anyone confirm this

Yes, a 37” KO2 will fit.

Do you need a raised suspension to run them?

 

[Cdcorn1]

Nope. I have +2 Deavers, which is no lift and my spare 37” KO2 fits.

I have a 2.5" lift in the front and a 1" lift via Deaver +3s in the back.

That's what I was told as well.

If it doesn't, its a great excuse to install an ARB compressor. Grab a wheels strap, tighten, and enjoy.

I have MT Baja Boss and mine does not. Hits the stock exhaust shields. If I add the AFE tail pipes or do an axle dump, no problem.

Anyone have a picture of what the Gen 2 Raptors look like with 37" x 12.5" x 17 tires?
