    Question about 27X8.50R14LT tires

    Does the tire size
    27X8.50R14LT fit in the undercarriage spare tire carrier?

    Thinking about upgrading to this size but need to know if I can carry a spare.

    Haha, I have similair question posted in the 4x4 forum. No word yet. But I crawled under the van the other day and did notice that there is not much extra room for taller tires.

    I've got one in my carrier. It's a BFGoodrich A/T. Ian, I would have responded to your post but I have no experience with 15" wheels.

    I can't find the BFG A/Ts in this size. I guess they are not made anymore.

    All I can find are the Maxxis Big Horn and General Grabbers in 27x8.5x14. Super Swamper makes a real aggressive 27x9.5x14, but I think they are too wide for the rim and van.

    Do these rub? Did you need to lift your van to mount this size?
