Hi

I use the maxraxx 4 bike carrier with a Mantec wheel carrier and it depends on tyre size - it did not fit with a 265/75 MT on the spare. Solution was to fit a 30mm tow ball spacer. NB I don't tow so it's not an issue for me, but some people don't like tow ball spacers.

Hope this helps Fully Restored 89 110 CSW V8

CLS 350 CDI for the sensible stuff

Hi Alfa, wow that's a great help as I've BF goodrich a/t 265. Two questions, do you have any pictures of tow bar spacer/ bike rack? Any secondly where did you get the tow bar spacer? I use a standard tow bar.

Sadly not, and the old girl's in the shop for some engine work at the moment so can't take any. Spacer was actually 50mm and needed longer bolts to fit, got both from Amazon Fully Restored 89 110 CSW V8
