I guess one could put two spare tires on it? One for the front and one for the back?

You could carry four (4) spares?

Howdy all

On the above site they have a single tire carrier that appears to use the "tow bolt" hole (pic I saw had it mounted on the FRONT of a smart).

Using four (4) of these mounts, you could carry four (4) spare tires (for rallies maybe?).

What's that you say, you only have 3 tow bolt mounts?

Think again.

On the front bumper there ARE two (2) mounting holes, but only one (1) is visible.

Measure from center of bumper to center of mounting hole, then go that same distance the other way, drill (or cut) the bumper and you have a fourth tow bolt hole?

How about something like this but convert the top to hold a tire.

Now your talking, give the car a more alien look by attaching that thing to the back, like a escape pod for the aliens on board.
