Heres a twin wheel carrier with one wheel mounted, doesn't look like he would get another tire that size mounted beside that one.

You could reinforce bonnet and stick it on there.

You could mount the number plate on a lit bracket on the outside of one on the spares.Alan

It's only 31s we've got. But still, the one in the link not only had the number plate but the lights covered too - you'd need to get two side by side within the lights, which would be pushing it on a Surf.
Thought about the bonnet, but any decent size wheel there would be pushing it - it works well for landies cos they have thinner wheels (generally) as they're lighter (generally). So that leaves back of the truck, underslung and the roof for locations for 2 wheels and half a dozen jerry cans. But there's already a carrying mechanism for wheels on the rear and underslung, and full jerry cans are worth a lot more than a spare wheel so putting them on the roof (or even inside) seems to make more sense.
Next time we have the tent on the roof, we'll see how much space there is in front of it to fab up a lockable carrier there for a few cans.Andy

i Didn't say he had but even 31"'s or standard surf wheels will block the forward vision too much, as he said landy standard wheels are much thinner and the bonnets made for it, anyway i thought you were jokeing!!
decent roof rack's the best bet for carring multiple spares,
You could mount the number plate on a lit bracket on the outside of one on the spares.Too young to die and too old to give a toss
