Spare Wheel For T32 4Motion With AT Tyres

[Captain Quick]

This thread has got me thinking about an option for a spare now I've fitted 20s.

This tyre isn't far off the same as a 265 40 20. And it is load rated for a t32.

Does this size fit in the standard spare wheel carrier?

One thing I discovered when researching this topic is that some conversions with M1-tested RIB or rock and roll beds have a metal reinforcement bar that sits within the spare wheel well. If fitted, this imposes a further restriction on the size of spare wheel that can be carried underneath. Something to be mindful of when considering any wheel/tyre combination.

Yeah the RIB fitting kit has that bar between the chassis legs. Mine is a Stide, which is a different setup.

I'll have a look underneath before doing anything else. Might just take the spare out for now, I've never had a look at it since buying the van.
