So, the hub part of the wheel has depth to it and this depth tapers in?
How far does it push the spare off the carrier, can you put spacers or nuts on the lugs to tighten up to to mount the spare. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Because of the taper and the large flange that houses the rear license plate light, it is impossible to slide the spare wheel/tire over the wheel support. The diameter of the OEM wheel support is about 4 1/2" (although it is only a half circle). The diameter of the Lexani wheel on the front side we all see is about 2 1/2" diameter.
My only option is to cut off the wheel support and then mount the wheel onto the lugs that hold the wheel in place. I could also weld a piece of round (or 1/2 round) tubing to help support the wheel. I could then run the license plate light wire through this to satisfy the CHP. - Or I could relocate the license plate to another rear location.
