oem license plate mount

[slippy]

Does anyone know if the stock license plate mount for the tire carrier will work for aftermarket wheels?
im running 16.5 wheel so im not sure if it will fit?
or what are my options, i like the look of the plate centered on the wheel.

I have a stock plate holder on mine and im running an aftermarket Mazzi 17x10 wheel.

Do you think it will fit a 16.5 wheel?
i know the OEM unit is smaller than 17 inches, but it looks like it will come close.

it might be a little close. just have to try and see.

yeah iv seen those but was hoping to not go that route. i like the look of the plate in the spare wheel. ill look into some online fab sites, im sure someone makes a bracket thats what im looking for.

If you don't tow, this could work too.

I used to use one of these on my last H2 (just has to bolt on a trailer light with the plate).
