Thanks, I know about the rear plate. I'm in the process of working a piece to re-mount the plate. Ran out of time the day I put them on.

I heard they wouldn't fit on the rear tire carrier. Did you have to mod the carrier to get the spare to fit?

[FGHT ON]

Not at all, I had to mod the plate carrier to fit back on the new wheel while I work on a new relocated bracket . . .

I'm confused...

So you are saying the tire carrier did not have to be modded and the license plate bracket did?

Yea the wheel went right on. I'm not sure what all these people are talking about their wheels not fitting on the carrier. You are replacing an 8 bolt wheel with the exact same pattern. The only difference is the depth and diameter. However b/c it is a deeper wheel the plate bracket doesn't reach. I had to get a threaded stud and a coupler to extend the bracket screw to fit all the way through the wheel, but the coupler was too thick so I had to grind it down to a smaller circumferance thickness. After all of that the bracket doesn't sit on the light housing lip so I had to place some 1/4" to hold the bracket from sliding all around on the wheel. In the process of making something better for the long run, but for now it made me legal enough to get back on the street.
