How far does it push the spare off the carrier, can you put spacers or nuts on the lugs to tighten up to to mount the spare.[/quote]
Because of the taper and the large flange that houses the rear license plate light, it is impossible to slide the spare wheel/tire over the wheel support. The diameter of the OEM wheel support is about 4 1/2" (although it is only a half circle). The diameter of the Lexani wheel on the front side we all see is about 2 1/2" diameter.
My only option is to cut off the wheel support and then mount the wheel onto the lugs that hold the wheel in place. I could also weld a piece of round (or 1/2 round) tubing to help support the wheel. I could then run the license plate light wire through this to satisfy the CHP. - Or I could relocate the license plate to another rear location.[/quote]
I finally finished getting my spare Lexani mounted to the rear. Also had to relocate the plate. Here is a before and a few after pics.
