    You have to leave the valve stem out to get full compression. Once its in place just screw it back in and replace the cover.

    And the new tire. As you can see it is cutting it close but fits like a glove.

    I started to do a write up on how to fit a 265/70 17 on factory rim in the factory location with tow package... but I didn't want to go through the hassle of uploading all my images to a third party site and then load them again here. If there's a way to upload directly, let me know and I'll finish the write up. I run the LT, which is just a little taller than the P version Nitto Terra Grapplers and I managed to fit it up there... can't be afraid to cut a little, tho... and some very minor welding (optional).

    You can upload directly from your HD & not needing to go thru a 3rd party like photo bucket. Here are the steps;
    with in the reply Click the Image button (3rd from the right)
    Then click the from computer tab
    Then click select files
    then select the picture to up load
    click upload files

    there was someone on "another forum" that got a larger spare in while inflated by grinding off the excess threads of the hitch bolts. Does anyone remember that thread or know who that was ? Id probably try that if I ever buy another spare tire. Also, there are rumors that running a stock size spare with 3 oversized tires will cause problems. we had this discussion while up in the woods changing a flat with Caleb. He drove around a bit with stock spare and had no issues, I believe. He ended up buying another tire but it still was not the same size as all the rest. Does anyone have any documentation about possible issues while doing this ?
