Looks the business:cool: However, I wouldn't rely on that bike lock to stop your wheel getting nicked.

Good set of croppers will go straight through that for sure.
Sad to say my spare resides inside the vehicle nowadays ;)
 
im in the process of adapting the rear carrier on my disco as the 35" tyre wont fit

i also need some way of securing it as a rim and tyre that costs over £200 i dont want nicked and i dont want it inside the motor

I use some extra locking wheel nuts on the spare. They are cheap compared to a replacing the spare.

well so far ive got a bike lock and two locking wheel nuts
am thinking about getting a just leagle spare tyre to stick on the rim
and stock the new tyre till needed:)
 
looks good mate,yes spare wheel is a target mine is the same brand new tyre fitted to it,although i stay in a good area,still makes me wonder when it will go missing thinking of putting mine on roofrack,but if they want it they will take it anyway..
 
Those wheels, especially the rear could still rub under heavy articulation. Even with a lift they will rub, the lift allows more articulation, but doesn't stop it rubbing when the articulation is reached.

Either extended bump stops, or a camel cut would sort it however. Might get away with the front, or just modify the corner pieces slightly.

Yep I have 235/70/16's insa sahara's and they rub when laning. However Me road tyres don't. The steelies that me mud tyres is on have a wider offset, so goinna transfer em onto my spare set of disco alloys and see if they still rub.
