CE Smith Spare Tire Carrier - CE27310G
- Frame Mount
- 4-Bolt
- 5-Bolt
- CE Smith
- U-Bolt Style
- 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 product does not work for my measurements of the frame and I am going to try to modify it to fit another way. The size of my frame is 2 inch thick by 6 inch wide. This bracket does not work for me 501097

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. 330480
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.

Received the product in a well packed box in about 6 days or so. All the parts were there. I have a typical utility 8' utility trailer that I haul behind my Hummer & when I mounted this unit on the side on the trailer front tongue as shown in the movie, when I put the spare tire on it, it was to low. Only about 6" or 7" from the ground. Not nearly high enough without rubbing the ground when I would go down a steep driveway or something like that. So I flipped the bracket up 90 degrees so that the tire would be facing up and spanned across the tongue instead of mounting it on the side. Worked great that way. I didn't take a picture. I wish I had. Took me about an hour to get this all figured out. Glad it came with 2 different sized "U" brackets. Wished they would have shown these other mounting options in the movie. That's why I gave it 4 stars. But works great now. BTW, very well built. Very solid and tough. 162102

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. 296106

Received the spare tire carrier parts today for my boat trailer. I like the fact the parts are galvanized steel - strong and will have rust and corrosion protection. Your product videos and pictures greatly helped out with the installation. I called customer service with a question and staff were very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend this part and your company. 798389

Ask the Experts about this CE Smith Spare Tire Carrier
- 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.
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.

- 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... - Spare Tire Carrier Recommendation for 5 on 5 Bolt PatternDepending on the configuration and mounting options on your trailer you may be able to use a spare tire carrier like the Fulton Economy Spare Tire Carrier, part # FETCSTL0701. 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. This will work with trailer frames 1 to 3-1/2 inches wide and up to 4 inches tall. I have attached a link to an installation video you can check out. I went to the warehouse and verified this will work with a 5 on 4-3/4 inch bolt pattern. Another carrier you may want to take a look at if you have an 8, 9, 12, or 13 inch tire is the Dutton-Lainson Trailer...

- 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.

- Recommended Spare Tire Mounting Bracket for 2008 [email protected] Trailer TongueThat is a pretty neat looking travel trailer! 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... - 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.

The mounting plate surface where the wheel attaches measures 3 inches wide by 6-1/8 inches tall. The overall height is 10-1/2 inches. The mounting holes where the wheel attaches are 4-1/4 inches apart on center. The u-bolt mounting holes are also 4-1/4 inches apart on center top to bottom and 2 inches apart on center side to side.

- Spare Tire for a 4 Inch Square Bumper on a Motor Home or TrailerCE Smith Offset Spare Trailer Tire Carrier # CE27310G only fits frames up to 3-1/2 inches wide but I do have a solution for you. You can use carrier # TR-1 which fits 4 inch square bumpers. We also have # UF15-954730 that will fit and it tilts down. I have linked video reviews of both carriers for you.
view full answer... - Frame Mounted Spare Tire Carrier for Trailer Frame That is 5 Inches TallWe do have a spare tire carrier for your 5 inch x 1-3/4 inch trailer frame, though you are correct that the CE Smith Offset Spare Trailer Tire Carrier # CE27310G would not work for you as it is designed for trailers with a frame up to 4 inches tall. 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. The Fulton carrier has a zinc plating so it...
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.
view full answer... - 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.

- 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.

- 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.
view full answer... - Frame Mounted Spare Tire Carrier for 15 Inch Wheel with 5 on 4-3/4 Inch Bolt PatternFor a carrier that will work with a 15 inch wheel and 5 on 4-3/4 inch bolt pattern, I recommend taking a look at the CE Smith Offset Spare Trailer Tire Carrier, # CE27310G. This carrier will work with trailer frames from 1 to 3-1/2 inches wide and up to 4 inches tall. I have attached a short video for you.
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... - Will the CE Smith Offset Spare Trailer Tire Carrier # CE27310G fit 5 on 4-3/4 inch Bolt PatternI have a solution for you, but the CE Smith Offset Spare Trailer Tire Carrier # CE27310G that you referenced will not fit your bolt pattern. 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.
view full answer... - Will CE Smith Offset Spare Tire Carrier Fit a 2 x 2 Inch Trailer Frame and 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt PatternYes, the spare tire carrier # CE27310G can be used on trailer frames that are 2 x 2 inches.

The CE Smith Offset Spare Mount part # CE27310G would have no problem fitting it as it can fit trailer frames 1" to 3-1/2" wide x up to 4" tall.

If you want something further away from the trailer that is vertical, I recommend the Fulton Hi-Mount Spare Tire Carrier - Fits 4-, 5-, and 6-Lug Wheels # FHDSTC0101 which gives you a 4-3/4 inch lift and a 7 inch offset.

- Spare Tire Carrier Compatible With Aluminum Motorcycle TrailerWe do not have any aluminum spare tire carriers so unfortunately nothing that can be welded to your aluminum trailer. The best option is to use a bolt on option that is either galvanized like # CE27310G or is zinc coated like # DL22120 or # FSTC1000301 to avoid galvanic corrosion from the dissimilar metals.

Carrier # CE22011Z-11050-2 will fit trailer frames up to 3" wide. A carrier such as # CE27310G is a little more versatile. It fits frames 1" to 3-1/2" wide x up to 4" tall. I have linked videos of these two carriers and a link to the other u-bolt mount carriers we have.
