Relocating parking sensors

[simorq]

Hi
I have a 2020 Wrangler Sahara High Altitude, and installed Mickey Thompson 35s. The spare tire is on the way of the backup sensors and I'm getting constant beep and error message every time I back up.
Instead of relocating the spare tire, I was thinking of drilling new holes and relocating the inner two sensors. Had anyone done this before? Should I try it or am I going to lose my bumper with no luck?

I had the same issue with 17x9 wheels (-6mm offset, 4.75 Inches backspacing) and 33" tires. To get those sensors effectively and neatly aimed or re-located on the stock bumper will take a lot of trial and error, emphasis on error, IMHO.

I ended up using the Teraflex Alpha HD Adjustable Spare Tire Mount Kit. It's not cheap, but it's less expensive than a new bumper. The spare is higher, but it's also snugged up on the OEM spare tire bump stops, which helped to clear the sensors' view.
