Rear Spare Wheel Carriers

Functionality and Protection with Spare Wheel Carriers

Our rear bars, which include spare wheel carriers and jerry can holders, enhance functionality while still providing excellent vehicle protection. A spare wheel carrier positioned on the back door of a 4WD might cause excessive door assembly stress, whilst a spare wheel located underneath the vehicle can be difficult to reach, more prone to damage, and may impact ground clearance when driving off road. If a larger tyre size is desired, both of these mounting methods may be ineffective which is why many avid adventurers choose to install a spare wheel carrier.

All of these concerns are addressed by a spare wheel carrier, which uses a swing out carrier to relocate the spare tyre onto the bumper assembly. Spare wheel carriers and jerry can holders are not required on all vehicles. A rear bar alone improves protection, mobility, and vehicle access significantly. Excellent ground clearance and departure angles are ensured, as well as a sleek and a daring appearance for your 4x4. Our spare wheel carriers and rear bars are made of steel for optimum strength and includes a centre depression to allow various sized tyres (placed on factory tyre carriers), as well as Hi-Lift jack points on some models and a low slip tread for easy access to the roof and inside of the vehicle.

What are the key benefits of installing a rear spare wheel carrier?

Rear spare wheel carriers offer several advantages. They allow you to carry larger tyres that factory mounts can't handle. Some models also act as tow bars or metal bumpers, adding protection to your car's panels. For vehicles with tyres mounted underneath, they provide better ground clearance. They also reduce strain on rear doors, especially with heavier tyres or wheels. Many carriers come with extra storage options for accessories like jerry cans or recovery boards.

Is a rear wheel carrier necessary if I already have a factory-mounted spare tyre?

Not always, but it can make things easier. It reduces wear and tear on vehicles with rear-mounted tyres by handling extra weight. For tyres mounted underneath, it gives you more clearance and keeps your tyre safe from damage.

How does a spare wheel carrier improve off-road performance?

A rear wheel carrier improves off-road performance by lifting the tyre off the bottom of the car. This increases ground clearance and helps on rocky or uneven tracks. It also improves your departure angle, so the rear doesn’t drag on steep climbs. Shifting the tyre’s weight to the back balances the car, improving handling on rough terrain.
