Initially I would carry it on the car roof in my alloy tray. Long term I would be looking at the rear bar like you.take your spare off. It should be cast on the back of the rim. I am interested in how you propose to carry it. My ultimate aim would be 2 x spares on the rear bar which would need to be modified, if only I had the money.
Also looking for a spare rim and tyre
So far rim seems to be POS 6JJx15 (-9 offset) ??
Tyre is a 235/75R15 ??
Also want extra spare for GRR trip next year with second spare carried with BT50 second spare on the roof rack.
Any updates to this info?
Wasn't sure what it was for, at least thre number seem correct, yes?That sounds like the right numbers except for the POS, I added that it stands for "piece of ****" cause they are crap or the 2010-2011 rims were
The J or JJ is the rim contour shape and the 6 denotes width (6")..........................

@Marv_mart looking at the calculator a 7JJ rim with those tyres would be better, I know I had 235's on a 6JJ and the extra sideways flex was scary at times had to drop down a couple of tyre sizes to get better stability and a 75 would have a pretty high sidewall to boot . Is that what it had on originally ??
Thanks for that info. Confirms what I have gathered so far.All outbacks came std with the 15x6 alloy with neg 9. It is rated for 1000kgs each which is interesting when your 16:49-3 is rated 2095 kg ATM !!! Heaps of headroom there Jayco???
If you optioned 16"s on your outback then there was two options both same wheel (16"x8", zero offset) but the options were 245/70-16 or 265/70-16 tyres, they dropped the 265s recently because the rocket scientist could not place the plastic inner guard on the chassis in the same place each time they made a van and so some rubbed (not helped by the fact the 16"s have a zero offset.) if you don't believe measure the distance between your tyre and inner guard both sides to see the difference ?
Fwiw and what I was planning to do before I sold the Expanda. If I was doing the GBR etc on a well loaded single axle van, I would run sunrasyia mine spec wheels and replace the ALKO outback springs with custom springs from a good supplier using a "military" wrap on the spring leafs.
Thanks for that info. Confirms what I have gathered so far.
