Not a huge mismatch, but to mount my 31" spare I shimmed the 3 mounting studs approx 3/4" to get the tire out enough to seat properly against the bump-outs. The 3 lug nuts went back in place and they are snug - but thinking maybe I should install longer studs to make up for the lost threads (due to the shims).
Are the OEM studs pressed into the spare tire bracket, or are they welded? Is it pretty easy to replace the studs with longer ones?
BYW, I'm not really interested in installing a spare tire extension bracket.
