there is a write that Sal had put up for this MOD as well. I had did and what I had to do was just grind down the excess on the outer ones & I was able to fit a 265/70/17 tire and works for me.
Nice write up

Grinding down the bolts I still had to keep my 255/75/17 deflated to fit. Thats why I wanted to go this route. Not sure yet if it makes a real difference. If anything it's at least a rounded edge instead of a corner poking into my tire.
my main issue was the tire sits lower than the stock one because the over-sized tire does not fit in the preformed area that the spare sat in. It does clear the bolts thoe. (Hope that make sense)

Well I got my spare tire winch today and installed it. I'll be putting back the two outer stock (trimmed) bolts and purchasing the grade 8's for the center two. I'm planning on buying a toy hauler rv/trailer and don't want to risk it over a few bucks.
