Carl, can you post a pic of the/your 315/70 r17 spare mounted on the rear.

I'm probably going that route when I put new tires on my 2dr. I have plastic bumpers. I'm wanting to see if I will have enough clearance since I wish to keep the same tire carrier.

.
For right now I have kept the 285 spare on. Christmas is coming and I've been going through money like water. When I ordered the Jeep my pickups tires needed replacing, so getting the 35's for the jeep made sense for me. Also the reason for the white letters on my order. Also I have the metal bumpers and thought that I read that it might possibly make a difference compared to the plastic. Not sure if I want to stay with the stock wheels or up grade to the Borah wheels when they are released in the JL spec. I like the flush look. That all may have an effect how the spare fits the tailgate when all mounted up.
Edit: Also I think I'm going with the AEV rear bumper when released if it works with the rear sensors.

Ok... Hopefully someone else can tender a pic of the 315/70 r17 BFG K02 on stock rim mounted on stock rear tire carrier on their RUBI JL that has a stock plastic bumper.

I think the plastic bumper is a tad more forgiving. If you have a stock rim with315/70 r17 on it and you have stock tire carrier, there is more room between tire and bumper if the bumper is plastic versus if it has a steel bumper. ??

I thought I read the same thing about the Rubi steel bumper, it was easier to use a 35" spare than the plastic bumper, one reason why I ordered the steel bumper group. No personal experience yet.

Cool! Your son goes to school in the middle of the woods? Is that like Montessori or something?

First trip out. Everything exceeded expectations! The only minor thing was it was a little difficult to place the Wrangler in 4 wheel drive.
