I believe someone is selling a spare-wheel spacer kit for the new Prados, so that if you have an oversize spare wheel it doesn't rub on the rear door (ie: I have 265/70/17 instead of the original 265/65/17)
Anyone know who sells them?

from lcool 120
forum:
Mannell Motors at Thornleigh carry a spacer designed for the Prado
rear door carrier, but most people done some kind of spacers without
buying a special one...

Definately noticeable in an auto but hardly noticeable in a manual.
