I've only seen one post on this so im making one... 

 

I am going to put 35s on my truck friday. Imma be buying a 35x10.5 to go on my stock 17" spare tire rim. It wont be exact but it will do is not leave me stranded. I travel across country sometimes for work and need to not be caught on the side of the road and stuck cause I don't have a full size spare. Ive considered getting a rim and tire that exactly matches my rims but imma be looking at like $500 for that one tire vs $200 for a 35x10.5.  It makes sense to me. Cause then even if i had to run down highway i could and can get a tire ordered or call a local tire shop to get the tire asap. Cant go without a vehicle or afford being stranded 

 

So the question is... has anyone done this? When I looked under there before it looked like there was a big metal heatshield? Or something on the front side of the spare. Could this safely be removed? If not tire will just sit in bed which obviously sucks cause loose a lot of the bed

I have done this on a few of my silverados. A 35 inch spare fit under my 16 silverado and my wife's 16 Tahoe . I have not tried it on the 19 but I would say it would probably fit.

Did you have to do any sort of modification?

Yes fit up perfect on the spare and fit under there. Honestly you almost could get a 37 there

Great news I’m looking to do the same. I have my lift kit and 35’s ready to install soon but was worried about the lack of a spare also. Do you mind posting which tire brand you went with so I can’t get the same exact one thanks

I bought a 2014 Chevy Silverado LT Z71 Crew Cab 4x4 with 35 " tires, and there is currently no spare. What is the biggest spare I can place in the carrier?

I honestly dont want to spend $500 on a spare 37".  I'm waiting for someone else to do it!

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
