Spare wheel storage for Hatch??


Recommended Posts

What have people done to store there, much larger than standard, spare wheels in, or on, there ea81 hatchbacks??

 

I have only recently purchased a spare wheel for my hatch and it's a 27inch offroad tyre so having it in the car uses up an aweful lot of space.

 

Im sure i have seen some people run with a spare wheel carrier on the hatches.... anyone got pics of these or any other options?? As much info and pics relating to this that i can find would be great.

 

Thanks guys.

I think MikeW has his mounted on the rear. Mine is strapped to the roof. If I roll I got that to protect my noggin:D Yeah, I know, not a great idea. But I'm working on a roll cage.

I dont like the idea of having to remove/disconnect something to access the gear I have in the back.

It took me over 4 months but i have this problem solved now... the pics do not show where i have moved the number plate to but i have relocated it to half on and half below the drivers side rear bumper.

It does fold down but i don't have to fold it down to access the boot... when it folds down it sits level so i can use it to sit a table top on when camping.

That is an awesome design. Going to show this post to my BF to get the tire off the roof:banana:

 

Nice Job:clap:

 

 

I happen to LIKE my roof tire, thanks!

:lol:

 

Folks always wave at me now!

I say "how'd ya know it was me?"

They reply .... "the tire on the roof"

 

In all seriousness....that is a nice job:clap:

 

I may just have to "borrow" your design for my wagon!
