No holes to drill on a Safai Equipment Single Pivot Swing Away....

That's is a rather large spare wheel haha!!! Got a link to that single point carrier?
Yes that was the first thing I checked. I've been over it a few times but figure there just be done secret I don't know as so many people run those wheels and tyres on standard carrier! |

Just looked them up and while the idea is good I'm not keen on the wheel basically blocking the window, sure that's a pain when reversing!

Carrying too much weight on the door and you can split the seam/welds on the door itself. There is a thread somewhere on it.
It is only a 90, reversing is not an issue. Just reverse until the car behind you alarm goes off...... 
Seriously after having my windows tinted I could see nothing through the rearview mirror for about 5 years due to the reflective properties of the tint film applied. I recently swapped the glass for a new tinted version from VGS where the glass itself is tinted and can see far more now than I ever could before. Anything close you can see through the spokes easily. If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

What offset are the bowlers? Did you have to adjust studs so the wheel cleared the wiper arm?

Found this....also had a 'rattle'....as mentioned striker plate would be the first place I'd be checking.
