spare tire on 2019 ram rebel

Hello,
Anyone know if 35" tires will fit in spare tire well under the bed?

It can be made to fit. I was able to get my 35x12.50 bfg ko2 on a 10” wide rim in the stock location, but I had to trim about a 1/4” or so off the back of the hitch. Basically trimmed right up to the weld. Without trimming it forced the tire to rub the trac bar and every time the truck moved you could hear it squeak, trimming gave it just enough clearance.

I have 35X12.5 Nitto's. I just aired way down until it fit.

I was able to fit a 35" 12.5" BFG in the spare tire location, but it required some cutting and welding. Initially I tried cranking the 35" up into the spot, because I saw a couple folks on the forum stated they fit a 35 in there, but it didn't work on mine, as it hit the panhard bar.

I moved the center section of the hitch back about 1.5" to get about 1" between the tire and the panhard bar. Been running about 20K miles and it the tire does not rub on the panhard bar.

35x12.5r18 here. trimmed the back of tow hitch, removed the heat shield, aired down slightly, and fits just fine.
