Talking about this one: Spare Wheel Carrier Fixings Question
Make it from L to I, ie straigthen it using a plier in order to get it out and once back, make it an L again. Causes no harm if not done regularly.

THANKS!!!
Sorry for late response. There is a very very minor rub on full lock, but not enough for me to want spacers
Clean for a day or 2!

Just switched BFG ATs (245/65/17) for cross climate 2’s the same size.
Anyone tried to get a 245 in the spare wheel holder ?

The spare wheel carrier needs mofifying to fit a 235/65/17 so, people have probably tried to fit a 245...
Raised or standard height? Any catching or rubbing? Looks good.

It’s raised up, swamper set up initially but wasn’t feeling the ATs so much
No rubbing or catching so far !
Sorry to quote something from 2 years ago.... but.... did you have any issues with scrubbing going for the 245's?
Might switch the centre caps but this is how they are for now, with fresh tyres:
Nice! I’ve got a spare set of DPs I thought of doing in black. I think they’re just not scruffy enough yet to get refinished.
My van would have come with these, had previous owner not have fitted the Sportline’s.
I hadn’t appreciated how nice they are until I saw this combo. I have since noticed more and more vans with the standard silver and now I really really like them as per factory too.
You won’t be disappointed if you do get them done, but no rush if they’re just spare.

Anyone tried the Geolandar cv4s yet?
Sounds ideal (for me), just an affordable decent brand all seasons tire with (mild) AT look. But don't see many around...
Am currently on 255 55 18 et48 x5 wheels, forbidden to post here of course
Stock suspension caravelle.
Would prefer to go a little smaller even, 235 60 17 is ideal i think. Or 225 65 17. But load ratings...
Anyways...curious about experiences with the cv4s!

So that’s the size I’d go for if you’re looking for 17” alloys. I’ve not seen the geolanders - will check them out
My 235/65/17 Wildpeak’s measure 72mph on Waze when Speedo is at 70mph. No complaints there.
Not sure what you were getting at with load ratings OP?
Mine are 108 but more comfy than my 103 Toyo’s were on 255/45/18’s.

Well it's just that after running 255 55 18 for a few years now, I might prefer to go a little smaller now. Some 235 65 r17 look really good (often lowered) but others are a bit too bulgy for my likings. I might be getting old...
Prefer a bit more standard look, but a little extra side wall still
This really looks good Imo.
And this one as well
This is 225 65r17 with 17x8 et40. Also not bad

You probably won’t like mine then. Sitting on Sportline T32 springs. 30mm drop I believe.
Mine came with these fitted. It is probably just about the right height now. Maybe a smudge to high at the rear, but then it’s a T32 so that’s to be expected when just fitting lowered springs I guess.
