Replace spacer or bumper between spare tire and tailgate for 0 offset wheels

[monkeyboy1317]

I have a '22 Wildtrak and replaced the factory Sasquatch wheels with new 0 offset wheels. The spare was no longer touching the spacer or bumper between the tire and tailgate. Enough space for a spider to make a home... The fix for this is ordering a new spacer, Ford Part #M2DZ-1A401-A, you will need two (2) as they are sold individually. Simply take your spare off, remove the old spacer and replace it with the new one. There is only one plastic screw holding it to the tailgate. Took about 15 minutes for the whole job. *Add extra 2 minutes for arachnid extraction.

I have no idea why it shows each picture twice, sorry.

I need to do this. So this should fit my 17x8.5 0 offset and 315/70/17 tires right? I have a NON sasquatch badlands that I got bigger wheels and tires for. Is the tire carrier any different on a sasquatch?

There's about a 1.5" gap between my current bumper and the tire. Are those longer bumpers 1.5" longer? Hard to tell from the pic.

Nicely done! I have been searching for a similar spacer to add or replace the factory ones. I've done the fit test and plan to add a 1.5" wheel spacer to push the spare out so I can wash behind the spare.

Your post gave me another search avenue. Thanks!!!

Is one meant for Sasquatch and the other for non Sasquatch?

I think it is about an inch longer.

There were 3 different lengths listed. I just went with the longest one. I think it was an inch or so longer than my original.

Why do you need two? That is confusing. Your post says (2), what do you mean?

They are sold individually. You have 2 on your tailgate.

I don't have all the answers. Hope this helps.

Thanks I'll go outside and count them now. I went to a public school so I ask for your pardon.

So I'm guessing B is for factory non-Sas, C is Sasquatch, and A is for zero offset?

I had a similar problem had about a one inch gap. I purchased black rubber furniture pads that have self stick on them. They fit perfectly both space wise and in diameter. Solved the problem without $ or a lot of work.
