Hi Clive and volksfolks,

The 215x75x15 will fit in the carrier space.  It requires a bit of
modif*ckation to do it though and a clever hand in refitting should one have
to change wheels.  The BFG AT/KO in 215x75-15 on SA wheels will fit gingerly
and with some worrying.  It will require trimming the dishplate that retains
the original spare and mounting a hinge where the present retaining rod
hinges the aforementioned dish to provide clearance.  However it is less of
a task than fitting up a rear carrier.  Unless of course you intend to use
the carrier to carry a gerry-can.

Seth Hatfield at H&R Motors in Santa Barbara CA can do the change or perhaps
consult on the matter.
