I tried to sort the spare wheel today but i'm not sure how they fit.
I have original steel wheel with 165/15 tyre however it sits higher than what i assume is the shelf stand. no matter how i position it, it seems wrong for the shelf to fit on top. If i raise the rear end (by the tank wall) it sits higher tjere and the hold down bracket doesn't line up. no accident damage or other repairs done in that area. There was no spare when i bought it so i have no reference.  |

I have the same wheel as in racers link 5.5j iirc. but may be 4.5.
The white thing under the rim is just a protective sheet whilst i was trial fitting the rim. So if i'm reading/looking at this correctly the rim sits level or lower to the ledge at the front which the shelf sits on, then the shelf is supported at the rear by the wheel. The car is locked/bllocked away until tomorrow so i'll revisit it then. |
