I understand what you mean. The mock-up is there as it was in that position when the bar was at about 100 degrees to the main bar, that the tyre would clear the rear hatch. I didn't want to have a carrier that had to be swung out past the side of the vehicle before it cleared the hatch.

I have 2 sets rims and plan on running the stockish size tyres round town and the larger (31s) for trips, so don't intend using the carrier that much. Hopefully the bar will look fairly 'clean' without the carrier.

I'm very open to any ideas anyone has 'cause i'm certainly no expert in doing this!
