Default Black Onyx PVD stock 20s and Defender LT285/60R20s

Title says it all. Had these installed over the weekend. Will get some better pics once the sun comes out and the wheel color can be better seen.
The spare took up every bit of room in the well. I don't think I could get a sheet of paper in there...

Looks good!

Have you tried removing the bracket and carrier mod, which is supposed to give you a little more room. Detailed here:

As soon as it's warm I'm going to do this mod. May be going to 34s.

Also, there's more room for those oversized tires (when the wheel is turned), not to mention a significant improvement in side ground clearance, if you remove the side steps.

I did not need to do anything to fit the spare. It is 33.4 according to TireRack.

Swapping the running boards for sliders is one of my next projects.

Very good. I consider it a substantial improvement from the stock 21s.

500 mile update. I much prefer these tires. There is a bit of rub when in reverse and full turn, but not enough to worry about. Spacers may have helped, but I did not have them installed.

My stock 21 wheels and tires are still available for sale.
