Hey Bill, unfortunately the etrailer Spare Tire Mount for Trailer Tires with Angle-Iron Railing # e99045 is not going to work with a 5 on 5 1/2 bolt pattern.
The only option we have would be to use the CE Smith Spare Tire Mount for Trailers # CE22007Z-11050-2. This carrier will work beautifully with your 5 on 5 1/2 bolt pattern, works with tires up to 15" wide, and will work with trailer tongues up to 3" wide.
If I can help you with anything else, please feel free to drop a comment and let me know!
