Spare Tire Question??

What is the max size tire that will fit in the spare tire location? I've read that a 35" tire will fit. I'm hoping to fit a Toyo Open Country 325/70/17 w/H2 Wheel in there. However, I have no clue if it will work as I haven't bothered to climb under and look for myself. If anyone has any experience with this, please let me know. Thanks!!

Biggest Ive seen is a 315 on the stock rim. That was with the stock exhaust. Probably just going to have to bite the bullett and break out the creeper and tape measure.

It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!

I have a 315 on the spare and it just fits. Somehow I doubt it a 325 will fit.
In any case, I don't think 325's will work without a lift of some sort as it will rub at full lock.

I have a 35x12.50 BFG Mud Terrain on the wheel that the spare came on and it fits up in there with 4" exhaust no problem. I don't think that there is too much more room. Also heard some aftermarket diff covers cause some problems with the larger tires on the spares.
