Spare Tire Storage Box and Fold-Down Table for INEOS Grenadier Station Wagon

The rear-mounted spare wheel on the INEOS Grenadier Station Wagon creates an open center hub cavity that typically remains unused. This spare tire storage box and integrated fold-down table kit converts that center wheel recess into an external, lockable gear compartment and a level trail work surface without consuming rear cargo space.

WHY THIS UPGRADE MATTERS

Concealed Hub Storage: Utilizes the empty center recess of the exterior spare wheel to store recovery straps, tire deflators, gloves, and camp tools outside the main cabin.

Integrated Work Surface: The front access door folds down on twin coated steel support cables, providing a rigid, horizontal platform for food prep, camp stoves, or trailside mechanical repairs.

Dual-Stage Security: Features a keyed flush-mounted latch on the storage door alongside an independent keyed tension lever lock on the bottom perimeter ring to protect gear from trail vibration and unauthorized removal.

Platform-Specific Wheel Fitment: Designed specifically for factory Station Wagon spare wheels, offering dedicated mounting geometry for both 17-inch and 18-inch wheel configurations without body drilling.

Installation & Compatibility Notes

Installation mounts the central compartment inside the spare wheel recess after removing the factory plastic center cover and center bolt.

• 18-Inch Wheels (285/75R18): Unbolt and remove the factory center cylindrical bracket. Slide the storage box into position and secure it using the three dedicated mounting bolts supplied with the kit.

• Outer Ring & Latch: Slide the outer ring over the tire face, align it flush with the box rim, latch the bottom metal catch, and lock the tension lever with the provided key.

• Fitment Notice: Inspect the interior recess of the spare wheel for clip-on or stick-on balancing weights prior to installation. Weights located inside the center recess will obstruct flush seating of the storage box floor.

Product FAQ

Q: Does this storage box kit fit both 17-inch and 18-inch factory wheels?

Wheel diameter options are dedicated to each specific wheel structure. The 17-inch variant secures directly onto factory wheel studs using the original lug nuts, while the 18-inch variant replaces the factory center cylindrical spacer bracket using three dedicated bolts included in the package.

Q: Can wheel balancing weights affect installation?

Balancing weights located inside the center wheel recess prevent the storage box from resting flush against the mounting face. Inspect the inner wheel cavity before mounting; any weights positioned within the center contact zone should be relocated to the inner barrel by a tire professional.

Q: Does mounting this kit require drilling into the rear door?

All mounting points utilize the factory wheel carrier studs and factory bracket holes. No drilling, cutting, or permanent modification to the Grenadier bodywork or rear door frame is required.
