35 inch tye, rubbing on bundera.........door

Post by napsta »

i just fitted 35's to my bundy, no probs,

EXCEPT
i cannot keep my spare on the rear door anymore, as the smaller barn door will not fit past the tyre to close....

any suggestions?
anyone got a swingaway carrier they want to sell me?

Buy a cheap compressor & just carry the spare dead flat so you can squeeze it out of the way to to open the door.
Or redrill the carrier or cut & move it across a bit if you have space on the hinge side for the tyre.

I realise the delay in my response but I have 35s on my Bundy and the spare will fit with a small mod, the pressed metal bracket on the door has another plate inside, through which go the 3 wheel studs, from memory it is located by a few spot welds, drill them off and reposision the stud plate further over to the right of the pressed metal bracket in a posision that lets the left hand door clear the tyre.
Don't move it any more than you need as you will obscure your right hand tail light.
Ihope this helps.

I have two sugestions!

1. Mark the tyre where the door is hiiting and grind 1/2 an inch of the tread!

2. Mark the door where the tyre is hitting and grind a radius that clears the tyre out of the door!

You can thank me latter for these great sugestions! :wink:

Just don't open the door. Simple. :)
