Chuggaman's "Fitting 36" tyres to Rear Wheel Carri

[Budgie]

Sorry Chuggaman, your thread disapeared on me but I managed to copy & paste the posts into here, although in reverse order.  

I've also gone for the D44 Carrier but I think there is space to re-drill the holes on the original to raise it up the door enough??  :D
Is that what you've done?

I bought a Devon 4x4 raised carrier.
Easy.
 
What did you do Mike?

turn it round, back to front?

put wheel nuts on the studs to act as collars?

ok... I give up!

Bolt it onto a roof rack?

I remember there being a device which fastens on to the carrier and has a set of raised studs on it to mount the wheel higher up. No idea where I saw it though

i have worked out how to fit a 36"wheel with tyre onto a standard disco spare wheel carrier on the back door.

with no welding or mods!!

[hobbit]

Yes I was going to say the same thing with raising the mounting, Paul I think did it and I followed his plan and did it on mine as well, not too difficult to do just make sure all the measurements are right

[Wanderer]

Yes but he said no modifications or welding.

I did mine with no welding but still had to modify the holes and make sure the wiper didn't catch.

It'll fill the rear window though :)

3mm gap between bumper and wheel. :D
