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.
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.
