Spare on roof too heavy?

[djlarroc]

How did you manage that? I just bought a stock replacement wheel and a new 31 x 10.50 for the new to me XJ, removed the donut spare and wondered how I could get the full size to fit back there (vertically).

Thanks.

Only thing stopping me from putting mine (31 x 10.5 x 15) in the stock location is the speaker grill on my soundbar. That is even with having a TruckVault storage box in the cargo area.

here's pics.

i didn't have to move the sound bar forward. just pushed up on it, and squeezed the tire in there. did it by myself. i do have the 245/75/16 though, which is like a half inch smaller. but it felt as if i could still squeeze in, a 31x10.50. my rear seat still latches as well.
