Hi Clive and volksfolks, The 215x75x15 will fit in the carrier space. It requires a bit of modif*ckation to do it though and a clever hand in refitting should one have to change wheels. The BFG AT/KO in 215x75-15 on SA wheels will fit gingerly and with some worrying. It will require trimming the dishplate that retains the original spare and mounting a hinge where the present retaining rod hinges the aforementioned dish to provide clearance. However it is less of a task than fitting up a rear carrier. Unless of course you intend to use the carrier to carry a gerry-can. Seth Hatfield at H&R Motors in Santa Barbara CA can do the change or perhaps consult on the matter. pensioner (215x75-15 in the front carrier) |
