15" Mefro / Hakka C in Stock Clamshell

[scottjk]

I've been running a set of SA 15" alloys and Hakka C's. I absolutely love the tires for highway use and long road trips. What has always concerned me was having my OEM 14" Continental spare if things went wrong. Not to mention the difficulty of getting another Hakka C on the road if one became unusable.

I ordered a 15" Mefro rim and Hakka C from Van Cafe this week. After following the steps on their website for the clamshell modification I can now put my fully inflated 205/65/15 spare under the van. It fits perfectly and there is enough room for the steering shaft. I am going to fabricate some type of hold down system now that the original spring type bars have been removed.

I used two #8 bolts 3 1/4 long and nylon locking nuts - stainless of course.
