My thoughts.....If you're talking safari style, flat on the hood,....well, you'd seriously block a large chunk of your forward vision. No matter how small of a tire you are running. But it would probably LOOK cool!:cool:
 






This was discussed very briefly in another thread. Maybe if you have a 3" body lift, you could dish the hood to mount the spare 2.5" or 3" lower compared to normal hood height. But you'd probably need to reinforce the hood a little to support the weight of an oversize off-road tire. :smoke:
 






Man... When I'm climbing up hill I already feel like I'm blind to the ground. I can't even imagine having a 32x11" tire in my way to block the little view that is there!!
 






True ,forward visibility...Well Ill just lay a tire up there and see what it looks like, he he..
