CE Smith Spare Tire Carrier - CE27310G
- Frame Mount
- 4-Bolt
- 5-Bolt
- U-Bolt Style
- CE Smith
- No Lift
Heavy-duty carrier lets you safely mount a spare trailer tire in a sleek way. It features an offset design that provides extra clearance and crossed U-bolts for added strength, and it resists corrosion. Holds 4-lug and 5-lug wheels up to 15".
Features:
- Heavy-duty carrier provides a mounting point for your trailer's spare tire
- Offset design ensures that the tire sits farther away from the ground and from your boat
- Crossed U-bolt design reinforces strength and increases weight capacity
- Includes 1 standard set and 1 longer set of U-bolts
- Galvanized steel carrier and zinc-plated hardware are sturdy and resists corrosion
- Zinc coated mounting hardware (included) resists corrosion
Specs:
- Application: trailer frames 1" to 3-1/2" wide x up to 4" tall
- Fits: 4-lug and 5-lug wheels, up to 15"
- Compatible with 4 on 4, 5 on 4-1/2, and 5 on 4-3/4 bolt patterns
- Not compatible with 5 on 5 or 5 on 5-1/2 bolt patterns
- Trailer mounting U-bolt dimensions (center to center):
- Width: 2"
- Height: 4-1/2"
- Wheel mounting surface:
- Width: 3"
- Height: 6-1/8"
- Bolt hole spacing (center to center): 4-1/2"
This sturdy spare tire carrier mounts to the trailer tongue in the front of the trailer. The offset design moves the tire and wheel up and away from the trailer frame to improve ground clearance. No drilling is required to install the carrier because the included U-bolts clamp the carrier to the trailer frame. The crisscross design increases the holding power of the U-bolts.
Galvanized Steel
Galvanized steel parts are hot-dipped in zinc after being stamped. This creates a coating that is typically 3 mil to 5 mil thick. This thick, all-around coating allows galvanized steel products to provide years of use without rusting or corroding.

This spare tire mount works and fits perfectly. Thank you Kaylyn for recommending this one when the one I ordered was out of stock. This was super easy to install (under 5 minutes), looks great and works great.

The product appears to be of good qualities. True durability will not be known until April when the ice melts so I am able to haul my boat down the highway to my favorite fishing lakes. Delivery was prompt, shipping tracking is outstanding however the product appeared to be shipped in a used/ damaged Box with multiple layers of clear shipping tape in an attempt to keep the heavy steel item to n the box. Needless to say the item was hanging out of the box upon arrival. Good thing this was not a fragile item. I will continue to order from etrailer, hopefully there will be improvements in how things are shipped.

It does what it is supposed to do. It holds my spare wheel and tire on my Bass boat trailer. Simple install. Just make sure you get a locking lug nut or cable lock so your spare stays safe and secure.

Great price, great quality and fast service and shipping. This is the best and only place to buy tires and trailer gear. The price I paid for two tires and wheels was less than I paid for a single tire I needed when one went flat on my last trip to lake Mead. Now with two spares I am no longer a victim of the " only tire shop open " Thank you .

Easily place the spare tire anywhere on the trailer.Galvanized which is important in salt water.

installed the tire carrier horizontally on my trailer, otherwise the tire hits the ground. very sturdy. a little disappointed in the weld job.

The nuts loosen up a couple times. I had to install lock nuts. Otherwise it works like a charm.

Worked good, I was able to situate it so the tire made a nice step getting over the boat bow when launching. Very happy.

Have yet to install, however, the workmanship quality of materials, hardware and finish are better than expected. I know the fit will work perfectly from the measurements taken prior to the purchase.

Had a blowout on Sunday coming home from lake and had to leave my boat at friends house! That is not happening again! So I ordered this mount and a spare wheel and tire. Fits perfect and installation took 5 minutes!

I have had this mounted on my McClain trailer for a year now. It has worked well. It was easy to install and has the ability for a number of ways to attach. Very versatile!

The product was adveritsed as galvanized. The mounting bracket itself was, but the fasteners were not. That sort of defeats the purpose. Ordering and delivery were very good, but I definitely did not get what I expected.

by: Brian05/16/2021
Product was exactly as ordered and appears to be of quality construction. Favorite feature Is that it has two sizes of u-bolts that offer multiple mounting configurations to fit various sizes of trailer frames. Very pleased with how it mounted. One thing, it will help to have someone hold the assembly in place while tightening the bolts initially or you could clamp in place. It is a bit difficult to hold everything together and get the nuts started on the u-bolts by oneself.

This spare tire carrier is designed to work with trailer frames that are 1 inch to 3 and a half inches wide and up to 4 inches tall. It works with 4 lug and 5 lug wheels and up to 15 inch rims. I wanted to ask how it was not mounted like it should be? I am happy to assist.

I need a place to mount my spare tire on my drop down trailer door and this looked like it would work and it worked great. Four 3.5" x 7/16" bolts and nuts and it was done. My experience with this etrailer and the people that work here was great.

by: Jeff H.05/20/2013
Glad I purchased this model. All the hardware was fine, no complaints. Only way it would fit my trailer was to turn it sideways and bolt it up with carriage bolts. Drilled 4 holes and it was done. Very pleased with it.

I was looking for a sturdy spare tire bracket for my 5x8 utility trailer that I pull quite often out of town. This one is very stout and affixed well to my trailer. It was very easy to install and a good design.

Perfect fit for my RPOD (RP-179). I needed to move the spare tire to the tongue so I could put my bike rack on the back hitch. The rack showed up on time and was simple to install and worked like a charm.
Comments
Im still using it and it still works very well. Only issue is Ive lost my cheap tire cover due to more wind in the front, than when is was mounted behind. I need to get a new one with better elastic or a tie strap.Thanks for the follow-up.

- Offset Spare Tire Carrier for 5 Inch Tall by 2 Inch Wide Trailer FrameYou are correct that the CE Smith Offset Spare Trailer Tire Carrier # CE27310G will not work with your 5" tall x 2" wide trailer frame, but we do have one option that will: - Offset Trailer Spare Tire Carrier by Dutton-Lainson # DL22120 This spare tire carrier will fit trailer frames that are up to 5 inches tall and 3 inches wide, and the reason is how it mounts. While the CE Smith uses a crossed U-bolt design that isn't tall enough for your frame, the # DL22120 uses clamps that allow...
view full answer... - Spare Tire Carrier Recommended for 2-1/2 Inch Square Tube Aluminum Trailer FrameThe CE Smith # CE27310G spare tire carrier you'd mentioned would work well for your trailer frame. The carrier is compatible with trailer frames up to 4 inches tall and from 1 to 3-1/2 inches wide. The carrier is compatible with wheels with 4 on 4, 5 on 4-1/2, and 5 on 4-3/4 bolt patterns, but it's not compatible with 5 on 5 or 5 on 5-1/2 bolt patterns. I'll link to a video showing a typical installation. A final note, the carrier is constructed of galvanized steel, so you'll want to...
view full answer... - Spare Tire Mount Recommendation with Extra OffsetI believe I have a solution for you, but I am going to need you to verify your bolt pattern since the only bolt pattern it wouldn't fit is 5 on 4-3/4. I attached an FAQ on determining bolt patterns for you to check out also. Check out the picture I attached. This is the only spare tire carrier we offer that fits the dimensions you requested. The hardest one being the 6 inches from the frame surface to the wheel surface.

- CE Smith Spare Tire Carrier Compatibility For a Boat Trailer With 2 X 3 FrameYes, the CE Smith Offset Spare Trailer Tire Carrier # CE27310G will work on your boat trailer with a 2" wide by 3" tall frame. The multiple adjustment holes and long threaded bolts will allow it to fit multiple frames widths and heights up to 3-1/2" wide and 4" tall. It can carry 4 lug wheels with a 4 lug on 4" pattern and 5 lug wheels with a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. I have linked a video below that shows the same mount on several different trailers with varying frame heights and widths. If...

When used with a spare tire with a 5 on 5 bolt pattern the bracket can be bent to fit. This option does not offer any offset, but will work for 5 on 5. With this set up you will get the carrier and lock in one. I went out to the warehouse and took a measurement of this part for you (see photo at right) to help...

- Recommended Spare Tire Carrier For Wheel With 5 on 4-3/4 Bolt PatternI recommend the CE Smith Offset Spare Trailer Tire Carrier, part # CE27310G to carry your tire that has a 5 on 4-3/4 inch bolt pattern.

I went to the warehouse and verified this will work with a 5 on 4-3/4 inch bolt pattern.

view full answer... - Spare Tire Carrier Recommendation for Carrying a Tire Horizontally on a Trailer. We do not carry any spare tire mounts that were designed to mount the tire horizontally, but we have a few mounts that you could make work. For example, you could use the CE Smith Offset Spare Tire Carrier, # CE27310G, and use a 2 inch block to take up the additional width in the u-bolts. This would give the u-bolts a snug fit around the width and height of the frame and allow you to mount the tire horizontally. You could also use a carrier like the Fulton F2 Heavy-Duty Spare Tire Carrier,...
view full answer... - Spare Tire Carrier for a Little Guy Silver Shadow Trailer with Limited Mounting SpaceI don't think that spare tire carrier # CE27310G is going to work because the one u-bolt has that protrusion and you have very limited space. Something like # CE22007Z-11050-2 would be a better option because you will just have the u-bolt around the frame. Since there is such little space this type of carrier is pretty much the only option.

- Can CE Smith Offset Spare Trailer Tire Carrier Mount Vertically on 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" Trailer Frame?The CE Smith Offset Spare Trailer Tire Carrier # CE27310G can be mounted on trailer frames which are 1" to 3-1/2" wide x up to 4" tall, so it will work for your 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" frame tube. Additionally, it can be mounted vertically so long as the panels on your trailer are pliable enough that they allow the carrier's U-bolots to fit around the tubes you referenced.

- Spare Tire Carrier for Trailer that Has Angle Iron Trailer FrameThe Fulton Economy Spare Tire Carrier with Wheel Nut Lock # FETCSTL0701 would work just fine on a section of angle iron that is 2 inches by 2 inches. The frame does not have to completely fill out the U-bolt to allow the carrier to install.

Our most popular clamp-on design Spare Tire Carrier is the Fulton # FSTC1000301. This will mount onto trailer tongues up to 3 inches wide and 4 inches high and transport wheels with 4 on 4 bolt pattern and 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern with 10 inch diameter or larger wheels. I wasn't able to find the exact wheel bolt pattern or how thick your trailer tongue was so if this won't work for you just let me know the measurements you find, and I...
view full answer... - Available Types of Trailer Spare Tire CarrierSince we do not have frame-mount spare tire carriers that will work with your 7-inch frame you might consider an item like # CE27310G and installing it without the included u-bolts, but instead with alternate bolts that you can source locally. You will need to drill the trailer frame to do this. We also offer hitch-mount spare tire carriers like # C31006 that fit into a 2-inch hitch. We also have weld-on tire carrier # 413200.
view full answer... - Corrosion Resistant Spare Trailer Tire CarrierThe CE Smith Offset Spare Trailer Tire Carrier # CE27310G is galvanized. The included hardware is zinc coated to resist corrosion. Unfortunately, we do not have any spare tire carriers that are completely stainless steel. Another option is the Dutton-Lainson Carrier # DL22120. It has a zinc plated yellow chromate TUFFPLATE finish.
view full answer... - Is Hardware for CE Smith Spare Tire Carrier Galvanized or Zinc PlatedI checked with CE Smith on the spare tire carrier # CE27310G. The mount itself is galvanized but all other parts (the hardware) is zinc plated. I checked all of the spare tire carriers we offer, see link, and all similar models also use zinc plated hardware and all others except this CE Smith carrier also use zinc plating on the main mount.

view full answer... - Spare Tire Carrier for 2" x 3" Trailer FrameThe CE Smith Offset Spare Trailer Tire Carrier # CE27310G will fit your trailer's 2" x 3" bumper just fine, though you are going to need to check your trailer's owner's manual or with the manufacturer to ensure the bumper is rated for use with clamp-on accessories. If not, this carrier also fits frames that are from 1" to 3-1/2" wide x up to 4" tall so you may have a way to mount it on your frame.

- Can C E Smith Trailer Spare Tire Mount # CE27310G Be Mounted Upside-DownThe CE Smith Trailer Spare Tire Mount could indeed be mounted in an upside-down orientation if you wish to do so. Keep in mind that this spare tire carrier is only compatible with 4 lug wheels or 5 lug wheels with a 4-1/2 inch bolt circle. Most of the spare tire carriers can be mounted upside down, with the exception of the Fulton Hi Mount # FHDSTC0101. If you would care to tell me the diameter and bolt pattern of your wheel, I can provide some recommendations that are more specific.

view full answer... - Spare Trailer Tire Carrier for an 8 Inch WheelTo determine if the CE Smith spare tire carrier # CE27310G will fit your 8 inch wheel you will need to measure the lug surface at the center of the wheel (the part of the wheel that will be in contact with the carrier). The carrier mounting surface is 3 inches wide by 6-1/8 inches tall. If you have the space in the middle of the wheel for this bracket then it will fit. Carrier # DL22144 does list 8 inches tries/wheels as a fit so you may want to consider it as an option.

Instead I recommend the Fulton Hi-Mount Spare Tire Carrier # FHDSTC0101 which will fit trailers frames that are up to 5 inches tall and up to 3 inches wide so it is perfect for your trailer.

view full answer... - Can the CE Smith Offset Spare Trailer Tire Carrier Be Mounted to a WallThe CE Smith Offset Spare Trailer Tire Carrier part # CE27310G could certainly be mounted to a wall if the proper supports and hardware were used to support its weight. That said, a better option actually designed to be mounted to a wall is the Rack'em Spare Tire Rack for Enclosed Trailers part # RA-16. Please note, if installing on exterior wall on aluminum trailer steps will need to be taken to prevent galvanic corrosion.

The Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier # UF15-954730 will accept your 5 on 4-3/4 spare. This carrier fits a 4 inch square RV/trailer bumper. We tested this here once on a rim with your bolt pattern and found that it fit.
