A simple/great idea - Spare Wheel Insert/Big Tyres was created by X8GGY
Here's a top tip for you!

Greg Holloway of www.sj410.co.uk fame bought one Grayston Wheel Spacer stud off me, to "fix" the fact that his spare wheel insert wouldn't fit back on with a bigger spare wheel / tyre on the back door -

What a fantastic idea!

neat

just watch the rear carrier if you mount large tyres on the back as mine has cracked the weld where the tyre hit the floor at the bottom of a climb
I now carry mine strapped down flat in the back (no rear seats) and have the hi-lift on the back

So has Greg's but he discovered with the bigger rim / tyre that the cover wouldn't reach the stud ;)

I have one of your original wheel spacers Dave and it is brill, but as has been pointed out, removing your rear wheel when doing anything hardcore is advisable or you might catch the wheel as you come down off a bank and cause damage to the door.

This applies however your spare is mounted to the rear door.

I'm taking mine off and leaving it in the car park now after a few close calls!
