Does a 20” wheel fit in the spare?

Anyone any idea if I can fit a 20” wheel in the spare cage / area of T6.1 LWB?

Got a cracked wheel welded and a tire on, was going to stick it under.

No, have a Search with ‘spare wheel’ and you’ll find that some have modified the spare wheel holder but not to 20” as far as I’m aware.

Cheers for that. I did do a wee search, but couldn’t find the right thread. That’s what I thought, ah well, will just store it in the garage then.

Tyre width and profile will be key here. 255 40 20 will fit with a bit of modification to the holder.

Oooh, is there a link to a thread to mod it?

I went for a narrower tyre but overall diameter/circumference is a good match.
My tyres are 245/45/20 and spare is 225/65/17 so only 0.58% out and less if you allow for some wear. This is particularly important to me as I have 4motion which I’m told can be problematic if the wheels aren’t the same size
