    Swing away spare wheel carrier for a DS?

    Hi All
    Does anyone know of a swing away type spare wheel carrier that suits a DS? Reason: I’d like to carry a second spare without needing a roof rack or a trailer, and I don’t want it inside the car.

    Thx

    Doug

    Would be completely custom for a vehicle mounted unit.

    You may get away with a tow bar mounted version for short use, would drive you mad accessing the rear though.

    Just purchased a tow bar tilt wheel carrier

    I have just purchased a 2020 DS and I am looking for a way to carry another spare wheel. I hope to find something that connects to the tow bar hitch and will tilt and is strong enough for doing some mild 4WDing.

    These came up on a Google search.

    Spare wheel carrier Reese Hitch tow bar mount | Wheels, Tyres & Rims | Gumtree Australia Belmont Area - Ascot | 1262813698 This is reasonable priced! Fixed $250 or tilt $350. Not sure if heavier enough for 4WDing!

    https://www.allfourx4.com.au/Univers...der-Light-Pole not sure if it will fit a DS but should strong enough. Don't think it fits into the towbar hitch but maybe it could be modified.

    Tilting Spare Wheel Carrier – Mirack Products looks pretty capable. Fold down and can angle the wheel. Not sure of strength but a $600 worth a look. They have a swing out as well.



    There must be others .......

    I have since purchased a Mirack tilt tow bar hitch mounted plus a number plate mounting. I think they come from Perth. All up cost (including delivery) was about $750. It looks pretty capable and looks strong enough.

    I will report back when it is delivered and after I try it.
