So with a wider Rubi KO2 tire and a slightly deeper spare tire bracket, does that mean the tire will still contact the rubber tailgate bumpstops ?Vertical distance from the bumper appears to be the same, difference is distance from the tailgate to wheel mounting surface.

Any chance you measured the camera body to see if there is a difference in length as it extends out from the carrier?I went through this a couple months ago when I put a 285/70-17 spare on. Not only are the carriers different the chmsl mount is also different.
Sport on the left Rubicon on the right, the loop the brake light on the Rubicon mounts too is also bigger to position the light higher.

Any chance you measured the camera body to see if it extends further out on the rubicon mount?In preparation for adding Rubi tires/wheels on my Sport, I went ahead a bought a take-off Rubi spare tire carrier for cheap. To add to Greglās info I included some images to help show the differences in the brackets between the Sport and Rubicon. The difference is in the mounting surface depth from the tailgate body to the wheel mounting surface as well as the height of the upper portion of the carrier that holds the brake light.
Yes it will fit, it just is a little shorter.Will sport brake light fit on rubicon carrier?
The Rubicon carrier does in fact hold the tire up higher than the Sport/Sahara carrier due to the difference in the shape of the carrier body. Looking at the profile of these carriers you can see how the mounting surface on the Sport/Sahara carrier drops down slightly unlike the Rubicon carrier. This is in addition to the taller brake light mount shown above in this thread.Then how does a rubicon carry a 35 and a sport/sahara can't if the carrier doesn't actually sit higher up?
Well I just went through all this. Rubicon 2020 tire carrier part number I got: 68474051AB (I see it's changed to AC on mopar parts sites, likely for 2021)Are there any updated part numbers on the different versions here? Does a Willys get a sport or Rubicon version?
For reference I have '21 Willys with 68474050AC
