Towbar fitment now I have bigger wheels

[faldo]

Hi folks.
I have a t6 camper van. It has bigger wheels fitted so the spare wheel is larger meaning a towbar would need modified etc. is there any way round this or any kits etc. thank you.

What wheels / tyres and what tow bar? Any pics?

What's the issue with fitting a standard size spare wheel?

The AA us emergency adaptable wheels that's about 15". For emergency recovery.

No issues with the rear on a standard van.

Some slight things to consider with the front diff, and if it's 4motion.... But the user guide details towing spec and max speed if diff locked.

Why would a towbar need modifying to fit around a larger spare wheel? The only bit of the towbar that intrudes within the spare wheel bay are the bolt heads. Are you saying that these are getting in the way?


This is the spare wheel bay on my van, looking sideways (to the right) at the chassis leg with the three bolts that the towbar mounts to.
The rear chassis cross member is to the right of the picture and would be between the spare wheel and the towbar itself.
