Transit wheels mounted. But the backward mounting the the tire on the spare mount is a problem.
I did cut the lib off as that was the first thing in the way. But the bolts aren't long enough. I'd be
very interested in what others have done.

OK I have two solutions, one the angle grinder is your friend and two
SAV has an adapter that mounts over the standard spare tire mount
that allows you to forward mount the tire.

Why I have this problem is because I have a custom mount for very
wide tires. The PO had that made and it interferes with the mounting
of a transit wheel. For now at least I cut the interfering pieces off
and the tire now goes on.
