Yep, I’ll find a used 185 LT tire for it.  Thanks!

The rods, tray, and one coolant hose is different.

Son’s ’86 Westy came with steel wheels with 185 tires, and we picked up a
set of 5 Carat wheels with 205 tires and the spare is too wide to fit.  Is
there some modification I need to make?  The door tire pressure sticker
shows both 185 and 205 tires, but it looks like the rods that hold the spare
are too low.

 

Any ideas other than using the steel wheel spare or do I need to lower the
clamshell or get Van Café’s bigger bracket?

 

Thanks!

 

Stuart
