I was thinking about mounting my spare 32" tire on the floor using a mounting bracket like in this post,

and then building a storage box to surround it, but i'm not sure if the tire will fit.

I have a 32" MT in the stock spare location. It's not easy, but it does fit! The hatch closes a little crooked and the rear seat only latches on the passenger side, but it's in there!!

Mine fits fine. I took the handle off the inside of the hatch to make it easier to close. Its on the pass side up against the seat. Tire is a bfg mud
