Ideas for a Crewcab reversed wheel mount?

Looking for recommendations of parts or manufacturers that can create a fixing to allow you to turn the spare wheel in the back of a crew cab around so the decent side of the alloy wheel faces out on show. To be clear it still remains in the same position and not on the back of the rear tailgate.

I have seen it done but they seem to be bespoke modifications...

Thanks

There is a spare wheel holder for alloy wheels which fits in the pickup tub. I think it was listed for the tomb raider models but i can't lay my hands on the part number. From memory the price was ridiculous several years ago when i wanted one.

I made my own by cutting up the rear door wheel holder from a discovery (to a flat plate with the three captive studs), welded a suitable length of 20x20 mild steel SHS. I welded an old steel wheel wheel nut onto the end of the SHS. This could then be threaded onto the original spare wheel bracket stud in my dcpu.

It also let me use one of the spare wheel locks:

A stud connector and extra length of stud would cater for the extra distance and then a piece of thick foam to protect the face of the wheel with the standard plate?

The LR bracket will only work if you have standard wheel/tyre size or there about. I tried with my 285/75/16 tyres and the bracket was at too much of an angle because the wheel centre was taller (due to tyre size) meaning the bracket threads would not go through the wheel.

I ended up fabricating this

Fair point, my home made bracket is offset for my 255/85 tyre.
