Has anyone got any pics of one that will fit on a 2006 sport
My new boots mean the spare won’t go where it should

Ok looks like I’ll have to make one then will let you see when it’s done

Any pictures of your new boots?. I've never seen a swing away spare on a RRS. 2006 2.7 TDV6 HSE in Cairns Blue.

A D3 swing away will fit but a swing away on a RRS looks disgusting. Try deflating the spare and carrying a air compressor - what storing in the cargo area? Plenty of options which are better than a swing away. 07MY RRS TDV6

What wheels / tyres are you running that you can't fit the spare in? With larger combinations, it's usually necessary to feed the spare in in a certain way - I have to do that with the 255/55/19 on mine, for example. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

I have 255/70/18 on new defender white steels so 32.1” rolling dia
Your 255/55/19 are 28.7” you can just get a 255/60/18 under neath which are 30”

I was thinking about one of these https://outbackaccessories.com.au/wheel-carriers/landrover/ but look really weird side on.
I think a few people make towbar mounted ones but can't find link at the moment. Pete

I did have 265\60R18 Bridgestone dueler A/T 697 fitted and they fitted in the spare wheel spot under the car. Very occasionally rubbed when turned tight and suspension well compressed (rock crawling). Pete

They fill the arches better now
As for the 265/55/18 they are wider but still only 30” dia
These are 32.1

Wow, I expected big knobbly mud pluggers, not road tyres.  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

To be honest these are the standard defender tyres which for what landing I do I have found the traction control and road tyres fine maybe when these have worn down I might put something more aggressive on it’s all about the extra inch of ground clearance that matters

If you can get away with a more road-biased tyre then may as well go with that. It'll give you a nicer drive compared to mud-pluggers that's for sure.  2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
