I recognise that and you are to be recommended for getting the details right

Default Dave .........

Your tire may not be filed with concrete the rim/tire combination weights in around 160 pounds.....maybe more with run flat.....

Mounting the spare tire into the HUP side wall bracket is a two healthy men job.......

If concrete filled you will have a bitch of time removing the tire casing unless you use a grinder wheel into the side wall and expect lots of blue rubber smoke Phew!!!!!!

Stay healthy.

Cheers

Beauty, but from the photos it sure looks thinner than 5/16" Amazing how deceiving it can be... The new solid blanks are 0.187 or 3/16" considerably thinner but with a 3/8" flange...

X2 stands for "export to UK (bult-up)" - see David's list on this thread:
