“Recently, a rather unpleasant story happened to me. I went to visit my relatives and at night, halfway through the journey, I had a flat tire, I had to do an emergency replacement on the spot. It's good that I always have my tools with me, otherwise I would have spent the night on the track And there anything can happen. ”I stopped near the service, but there was no tire service.

Riding a dock is still a torment. You can't really accelerate and the car trudges like a pregnant cow on ice. As soon as I arrived home, I immediately began to think about that. how to make a mount for a normal full size spare wheel. Have authorized dealer Nothing of the kind was available, I had to search on the Internet and at the next forum I finally found what I was looking for - an alternative mount for a full-size spare wheel. I ordered everything I needed on one site and started waiting. On another site I came across an equally interesting proposal. A couple of weeks later I took a box from the post office with a bracket inside.

The installation process is simple to the point. You need to screw this very bracket to the body with four nuts, while you do not need to remove the muffler, as I thought before. True, if you also decide to do the same, then it is better to work with an assistant, otherwise it can be very uncomfortable alone. After installing the bracket, insert the hook into the technological hole in luggage compartment, put the spare wheel in place and hooked the hook onto the bolt. I didn't buy a new wheel especially for this, I decided that a summer wheel would serve as a spare in winter, and a winter wheel in winter.

It took about half an hour to get to work, but now I am sure that in case of trouble with the wheel, I can easily make a replacement and continue driving in the same rhythm. After a while, I noticed that dirt accumulates on the spare wheel and this is not surprising, because it is practically on the bottom of the car. In order not to spoil its appearance, I ordered a rubber cover, there the spare tire and wrap it. The bracket with delivery cost me 4.5 thousand rubles. Yes, not that cheap, but worth it. "

Spare wheel under the bottom

Forum discussion topic:

1.5 months ago I ordered a frame for a spare wheel and accessories. I ordered it with the same number, supposedly containing a full-size one. But in the end, it came under a spare tire originally designed for a 16-inch wheel 215/75 / R16. The numbers for the bracket are 2, and the option is one, as they explained that they simply replaced the outdated number. Obviously, you can put a stowaway as such in this frame, and so a full-size one for 16, which is now coming from the factory.

Immediately I tried on the 18th wheel, it is clear that the height is great. You can press and it seems that almost everything is fine, but you can't do it with your hands by hand. , when the doors are twisted with wire, you can see how the spacer is used) .2mm seemed thin, so I decided to put two on each side. In general, they fit well.

The frame on the car got up, of course, without any problems, but to fix the rest of the appearances to sweat. On the 18 the wheel is quite heavy, shoved it. I began to start the hook, but it does not climb, rubber interferes, 5 mm of space was not enough. I looked at what was happening, from behind I saw that the rubber rests a little on my plates, I undermined the situation. The situation has not changed. As a result, I removed the hook from the bolt, hooked it on the frame, and then a friend screwed it on. In general, it is very difficult for one to put it, maybe not realistic.

But the most important thing is that there is a spare wheel not in the trunk. It is easy to remove it, and if you hit it, you will have to get dirty and so on.

1. Use a slotted screwdriver to open the cover above the rear bumper.

2.Use the wheel wrench to loosen the spare wheel fixing bolt

3. Disconnect the spare wheel cable under the rear bumper
