I have a 33" spare time. Do I need the additional tire carrier? When would that be necessary?

I just got this tire carrier. I have a 35" tire and it mounts with no problem.. I really like it so far. Your 33" tire should have no problem at all.

I put on 32" tires on my 07 jeep grand cherokee I believe I could have done 33" but didn't want to risk rubbing on the front end. It's looks and rides great with the 32" . I hope this helps.

No need. It's very sturdy. There isn't anything to scuff it. No need to deflate tires either.

Yes it does include tire carrier. When I ordered they sent me the bumper first. But then a day later I got the tire carrier. So far great product for the money. I run a 35 inch tire on my carrier no problem.

Get the 15". The tires are pretty big, so you will be farther from the ground than with smaller wheels.

Does your vehicle have a externally mounted spare tire on the back end of the vehicle?

I also have 33x12.5's and the tire sticks out no more than an inch. They look good. The high-line design gives more clearance and with that an appearance of added lift. '97 Tj.

Without putting a spacer behind the wheel, you wont fit anything larger than 31. I've got 30s and I've got just over 1/2" space between the spare tire and bumper

Yes you need a spare tire mount, the bracket mounts to the existing studs on the tire carier. If you don't have one ask around on the jeep forums and someone may give you one for just shipping, lots of people have them laying in their garage.

I did the same thing. Ordered them separately. The guy at smitten it told me the only way to use the tire carrier with the bumper was to order the bumper+tire carrier package. No ordering them separate or you can use the carrier.

You attach it to the existing spare tire bracket. Easy to install and works great with my 33" tire.

the spare will fit but you have to remove the existing storage, the tire / jack kit came with its own when I got mine

Yes there is room for a spare tire. Just take out the flat tire kit and put it in one of the compartments in the trunk. It will be nice to have both options. I love my soul.

Just take rim to local discount tire dealer and they will mount an inflatable spare on it. Not full size tire- just a donut spare. About $65 for spare tire.

go to the tire manufacturers website and look at their size chart, If the tire diameter is. I put it on a 31-10.50-15 (31" dia. and I believe it would fit to a 33" diameter pretty easily

My measures closer to 30 so you should have more than enough room. Option to take off wheels and foot would also make it a couple of inches shorter

I think that is my tire size and it was a loose fit. It worked ok for me as the spare is in my trailer's tack room. But, let me double check my tires tomorrow and verify. I will get back with you.
