A hub spacer would probably work, but they tend to be rather pricey for the
type you would need and typically are sold in pairs. See:
http://www.spidertrax.com/drivetrain_whs.htm
The Teraflex extension unit Part#STEXT can be had for around $22-$25 USD.

Thanks. It looks like I will have to order that from Teraflex or somebody.
Shops here only sell hub spacers in sets of four (stupid market). Tried
airing down and fitting the tyre, doesn't work even with tyre down to 12
psi. I seem to be solving one problem and creating the next one. Oh well,
its life I guess.

Cheers

If you go for this option I have one for sale really cheap. I used it
for a while then puchased a new rear bumper with tire carrier

1) Buying a Tomken relocation kit - moving the tyre about 2.5 inches
out
and slightly higher
