I got a -44 offset wheel and it gives me a 5-6” gap between the tire and rear door, which i am not a fan of. I already have an HD Oversized Tire Carrier which adapts to the oem tire carrier. Anybody know of a different adaptable mount i can use that’ll bring my spare tire closer to the rear door and close that gap??

Oh yeah, that's probably not good to have it that far away from the body anyways, due to all the leverage.
Maybe this?

What does it look like if you was to flip your wheel around and bolt it up? Then put a tire cover on the tire so you don't see the inside of the wheel.
Im sure that would work but i dont think i want to hide my tire under a cover. But i think ive already found the solution.
If anyone is having this same problem then i think i might have found the solution. Both teraflex and mopar make an adjustable mount that replaces the stock mount. It has the option to either extend the tire further out or brings it in closer to the door. I will be purchasing one of these soon and will post the results.

I didn't know Mopar made this, that's fantastic! Thanks for sharing this, I'm glad to hear it solved your problem!
Speaking of spare tires I can remove mine with a battery powered impact wrench in about 20 seconds or less and you can your do yours also that fast and a thief can do it in a parking lot or where ever you can't watch your vehicle the same way. A locking lug nut fixes that.....just sayin.

I had three and no key. Hour and a half later I finally got them off and replaced with non-locks but you make a good point. I only have stock rims but if I had expensive rims/tires then a lock would be a good idea
