door carriers

**njz** · 12th November 2007, 11:21 AM

I've got a '97 that came with a steel spare and I also have a 2nd set of 5 factory alloys with STTs that I put on for trips. The carrier nuts fit both the alloy and the steel wheel fine.

When I put my shovel holder (4x4equip) on there is just enough thread. I've done quite a few trips with it with zero probs.

There are a couple of spacers used depending on wheel/tyre configuration.

1. Steel wheel with 205 tyre:
No spacers between carrier & door.
No spacers between wheel & carrier.

2. Steel wheel with 235 tyre:
Spacers between carrier & door.
No spacers between wheel & carrier.

3. Alloy wheel with 235 tyre:
Spacers between carrier & door.
Spacers between wheel & carrier.

As far as I've seen, there were no alloys with 205 tyres from the factory.

The carrier to door spacers are 2 long strips, about 1/4" thick IIRC. Part # ANR5040

The wheel to carrier spacers are like washers. Not too sure how thick as I'm going by a picture. Part # WA116101L.

is this what your wheel nuts look like on your studs then i have at least 7 treads showing on my'n and that is with the wheel touching the carrier so you guys think that this will be ok then.......i'm still going to buy the shovel holder maybe see what it fits like when it comes...

lou, the studs arnt supposed to come to the end of the nuts.
there will be at least 25mm of effective thread length used by the nut, loosing another 2-3mm wont make the wheel fall off.

take one of the nuts off and measure the total length and then minus the but not used, this will give you the effective length.

cheers phil
