Rear Door Spare Tire Carrier Installation
Heavy-Duty Full-Size Spare Wheel Mounting in Los Alamitos.
Relocate and Upgrade Your Spare
Upgrading to larger all-terrain tires means your new spare will no longer fit underneath the vehicle's factory cargo bed. At The Good Van, we install heavy-duty rear door spare tire carriers that shift your full-size spare to the rear door, freeing up under-chassis room for extra water or fuel storage tanks.
-
Installing rugged steel wheel racks that swing smoothly with your rear door, placing no stress on thin sheet metal.
-
Designing mount positions capable of holding heavy, oversized wheel and tire configurations up to 35 inches.
-
Integrating high-security lockable lug assemblies to defend your expensive off-road spare wheel from theft.
-
Ensuring your license plate remains visible and backing camera sights are preserved after mounting your tire.
The "Good Van" Process
Hinge Compatibility Check
We verify your factory hinge style, swapping out standard door hinges for heavy-duty 180° or 270° options as required.
Carrier Structural Bolt-On
The tire carrier assembly is mounted securely directly into the reinforced structural door hinge pins.
Wheel Offset Adjustment
We position the wheel mounting plate to sit your wheel flush and tight against the rear door paneling.
Torque Spec Validation
Lug nuts are fully torqued to match Mercedes factory safety specs, and door alignment is double-checked under full load.
