I spoke with a representative from Magnaflow and they said you will not have to relocate your spare tire when you install the MagnaFlow Cat-Back Exhaust System - Stainless Steel - Gas, part # MF15269, on your 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. They do not test fit for vehicles that are not stock, so they could not guarantee this exhaust system would not interfere with the air bags, but his educated guess was it would not be an issue.
