Does my spare droop too low? (stock size A/T4W)

[TrailWhale]

I don't have pictures or measurements from before I replaced the tires with the Wildpeak A/T4W in stock size SL load (265/70r18). But this tire droop is catching my eye as "is that supposed to be so low?"

I didn't get under for a close look, but it does look like it's in the side bracket reasonably well (pictured). Curious to hear from anyone else who has replaced their spare tire.

Looks correct to me. I have it stick out a similar amount and it is the stock tire at hasn't been removed since installed at the factory. They just hang a little low.

Linking the discussion we're having over in the "tire upgrade" thread for reference here, but for folks stumbling on this thread, this seems to be what everybody moving up to 33s on stock suspension can expect.

Tire Upgrade ?

it looks like the K03 your installing for a spare is 33.2 inches in diameter. I wanted to install 5 Mickey Thompsons Baja Boss’s that measure 33.4. That’s not looking good for me. Might have to switch to a different tire that measures at 33 inch max. Really wanted to do all 5 if I have a flat...

I installed 275/70/18 ATW4. The clearance looks similar
