consider proximity to other things on the exhaust routing, including the spare, brake lines/hoses, park brake cables etc. might need some shielding around stuff.

Plan to wrap the exhaust over the axle, also at the transmission ..... everywhere else its at least 2-3" off.
I went and picked up a free wheel/tire. A bust because offset wasnt right ... but gave me a look at a 8.5" wide tire versus a 9.5" tire. Huge difference, ths would almost work.
Only concern would be the bottom left carrier hinge to frame. I think I could tighten it up a little with the tire at less than full air PSI.
that was a 215/70/15 - 8.5" wide tire
So I think I need to go with a 205/80R16 - thats 8.1" and same 29" height.
Should give me the width clearance.
I hate goop - will never use that ever again
Always carry tire plugs and a compressor with me now.
