Max spare tire size?

What is the max tire size you can carry under the pathfinder with a 2inch lift?

I have a 285-70-17 (which is roughly 32.8") under mine and that's probably as big as you could possibly go. You might be able to squeeze a true 33" tire under there, but that would definitely be the max

I have 265/70-R17, which is roughly 31,6'' diameter and it sits somehow uncomfortably there. Could possibly pack even an inch more, but the problem (at least with diesel) is not space itself, but exhaust tube, which is in my case only 1/4 inch away from tire. If I'd just regulary winch tire up, it would definitelly touch the exhaust pipe, so when winching it up I need to push it away from exhaust pipe to avoid contact.
I also put ALU shielding foil inbetween to prevent them touching thus burning my new spare with exhaust pipe.

This was my main concern. Moved mine as well.
