Great product! I have a 1991 Jeep Cherokee, the factory location for a spare tire is in the rear cargo area. I didn't want the spare tire inside, taking up cargo space. With very little modification, drilling a couple of holes, I relocated the spare to the rear bumper. I put it in between my passenger side taillight and the license plate. This is an excellent alternative to the swing away tire carriers that start around $350. 47752

• Spare Tire Carrier # F581903 Recommendation for a 33x12.5R15 Tire
  
• There is not a weight capacity for this Folding, Bumper Mounted Tire Carrier, part # TR-2, the only stipulation is that you only carry trailer tires on this, and not a wheel for any powered vehicles. However, due to the larger size and weight of your wheels I would be more inclined to use a Fulton F2 Super-Duty, Offset Spare-Tire Carrier, part # F581903, especially due to the size of your tires.

• I went out into our warehouse and pulled a Folding Bumper Tire Carrier # TR-2 and measured the distance from the center of the top lug bolt to the bottom of the bracket plate and found that it is 3-1/4 inches. Check out the video I attached that shows me taking this measurement for you.

• Availability of Spare Tire Carrier for 5 Inch Bumper
  
• If your bumper is 5 inches by 5 inches, we do not carry anything that would work, but if the bumper is not thicker than 3 inches, the Dutton Lainson # DL22120 or the Fulton # FHDSTC0101 would work for you.
