Defender rear wheel carrier

[billnus]

I just mounted new tyres 265/75/16's on boost alloys on my 300tdi D110

I have another boost alloy for the spare and want to get a full size spare on the rear, however the mounting bolts are too short to fit the wheel/tyre. They had steelies on it originally.

Has anyone adapted their current door mounted wheel carrier ? or is my only option to either buy a new one? Here's a picture for reference.

Have you looked into putting a wheel carrier off a Disco one , They come out deeper to fit Alloys , I do believe they are the same as the current Defenders , plus there are plenty of them in Wreckers !!.. good luck Jim..

What wheel nuts are you using? If you are trying to bolt up the alloy boost with steel wheel nuts it won't work. It should be ok if you use the boost alloy wheel nuts.
Could you post some pics to get a better idea?

I'm doing the same thing tomorrow morning so shall let you know how I go. I thought all you'd need to do would be use the allow wheel nuts. I currently have a 33x10.5 (equivlalent to 265) R15 wheel on the rear and it fits easily.
