have had 31's on the rear, not a 32, 31 was tight & the tailgate was not to impressed about the weight either.

get total care, a air compressor and a tire repair kit, some spare vales and some tire leavers then leave the spare at home.

I cant see that being a problem, see if some one can lend you something smaller, use it as a space saver..

its only too much work if you get a flat.
the odds of that happening is fairly small.
the only way you will be up shit creek with this is if you slash the side wall.
a puncture repair kit is going to get you out if trouble 39 out of 40 times.
im around excavators nearly every day. i rarely see a spare being used.

if the tyre is hittin the tail gate and not the wheel... a temporary fix would be to flattten the tyre so it bolts right up and carry a compressor to pump it up when needed, obviously not good for the tyre thou as it'll get a flat spot if left like that for prolonged periods.

the best way is to make a swing away carrier... but otherwise, stand it up in the back and pack everything around it =)

32inch is a lot of weight for the tailgate. use a smaller spare
or make a swing away carrier or do your best packing around
tyre on the floor. about the only options you have mate.
good luck
