Subject:I got the 215/75R14 to fit in the carrier of my 88.
From:VWNut Hawk

I took a 32" piece of 1" angle iron and welded it below the brace that
had the carrier's hinges on it.
The hinges had been grinded and air hammered off.  With the hinges
welded back on the lower 1" angle iron
the tire fits and can be screwed down all the way.
So, it's all original parts + 32" of 1" angle iron.
