The only spare tire carrier we have that's large enough to handle the 8-Bolt pattern from your 2003 Chevy Express Van is the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125. This nice thing about this option is the tilting feature which makes it easier to load and unload your spare, plus it should give you enough room to open up at least one side of your rear doors without having to remove the tire.
