This spare tire carrier allows you to carry an oversized spare tire in the same place as the factor "clamshell" spare tire location. A 215/65/16 Nokian tire fits in most applications, but there is no guarentees for fitment of different types of tires.
All mounting hardware is included except the final secure bolt. Reuse your origonal bolt there.
Fitment Notes:
- You must remove the spring hoops and the tire will contact coolant hoses
- If your tire or rim is too "thick" then you will have a hard time shifting into reverse for M/T Vanagons.
- Automatic vans are best candidates for 215/65/r16 tires.
- Syncros have more space between the front cross member and the underside of the van, so this carrier is a great option for someone who doesn't offroad his or her Syncro.
