Have you seen my earlier thread on this ? Spare tyre location sorted out

There's ample room in the location mine is fitted. My wheels are 30.5" - well above the standard 29" wheels and there's still room for bigger - not sure 33's would fit though... There is a small gap behind the seat and the tyre (tyre doesn't touch seat) and about 2-3cm gap to the back door. It looks like the tyre will stick out a bit at first - but it is deceptive as the upper rear door is recessed once closed.

Mine is now covered with matching fabric to the rest of the interior. I've used two mounts - one screwed through the centre of the wheel into a bracket around the subwoofer and another bracket utilising the child restraint bolts. Combined they make it rock solid with zero movement - although either singly would work I was a little paranoid and used both. Been using it like this for over a year now - over all sorts of terrain.

ive made this set up for mine they are 32" and seems to do the trick for me.

Do have an lpg tank fitted down there or 32's are to big to fit in the hole?

I bet he doesn't have a LPG tank there or a very small one
