Default 265/60r18 spare tire fit?

Anyone able to confirm a 265/60r18 will fit the stock rear mount location without having to flip the carrier or purchase the mount adapter?

From putting my finger in the gap it may be close

I worry using the adapter or flipping will be overkill for such a small difference.

Looks like 30.5". I'll say probably. I get a 31.75" to fit flipped with about .75" clearance.

I have a 265/60r18 spare on the stock rims on my '03 with the spare tire carrier in the OEM orientation and it *just* clears the bumper. The door swings open and closed without any interference. I would imagine that tire brand and model, as well as OEM rims vs. aftermarket rims, might change the amount of clearance, but I have no issues with my set-up.

I currently have a set of Goodyear Wrangler All Terrain Adventure tires on the stock 18" OEM rims.

265/60R18 fitted on the OEM spare tire holder (shop bolted it there), but it rubbed extremely on the plastic bumper and I feared it cracks when opening and closing the rear door. So my solution is: https://landroverforums.com/forum/di...78/#post783388
