- Frame Mount
- 4-Bolt
- 5-Bolt
- Trailer
- 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.

Appears well built and installed easily. Good galvanized coating. As others have said you may need to cut the bolts after installing so they don’t rub the tire.

This was the exact replacement for my kayak trailer suspension. It’s been in use for a year — so far, so good!
by: James 09/25/2022
sturdy construction and super quick delivery, only issue was three wheel lug nuts were packaged (only two needed) and three bracket nuts included (you need four). So, these were inadvertently swapped during packaging. A trip to the hardware store will fix this.
by: JMT07/09/2014
installed the tire carrier horizontally on my trailer, otherwise the tire hits the ground. very sturdy. a little disappointed in the weld job.
Comments
The nuts loosen up a couple times. I had to install lock nuts. Otherwise it works like a charm.
JMT - 07/09/2015by: Dennis 08/28/2022
Well made & should last a long-long time. Fits perfect in the location I chose on front of trailer. I used a bike locking device I already had lying around to secure spare tire to trailer.

Needed a spare wheel for my SeaDoo trailer.. etrailer.com made it easy to pick the correct wheel + tire and it shipped quickly and accurately!
by: Ted 09/10/2022
Works just like I intended it to. Sturdy, and holds spare tire onto travel trailer's A-frame tongue. Makes accessing spare tire much easier.
by: James12/06/2021
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.
by: John08/01/2022
Delivered quickly, Excellent quality, Guide post video helped with measurements. I followed the instructions and boat went on easy and straight. Also makes a happy wife who was nervous to trailer boat!

Great way to safely carry your spare tire.
Rodger - 12/24/2022by: Robert05/06/2022
Fit perfectly on my small Magic Tilt trailer that came with my Boston Whaler Super Sport 130 boat. Trailer arm is 3" X 3", and wheels/ tires are 4.80 X 12". It provides good insurance in the event of a tire failure on a long road trip to the lake through remote wilderness.
by: Mark G09/18/2016
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.

I have an old MacGregor Venture 17' foot trailer, and I was looking for a decent bracket for a spare tire. This one is solidly built, reasonably priced, and just what I needed.
You can position the bracket in a variety of ways, and it's great that it comes with two sets of u-bolts, because I did need the larger set for my setup. I also appreciated that the u-bolt nuts are facing the tire rather than the opposite way, since that would make it fairly easy for someone to unbolt the bracket. The way these bolts are, with the tire securely mounted to the bracket, it is much more difficult to get a wrench back there.
The only issue I notice once I had the bracket where I wanted it was that one of the lower bolts just touched the tire rim, probably because my setup is a little unusual. It might not have made a difference, but I decided to trim the bolt down so it wouldn't rub on the rim while driving down the road.
Also, I have to mention that etrailer ships extremely fast! Within a couple of hours, my order was not only processed but was delivered to UPS for shipment. Most of the time, online shippers send you a message that a label has been created, but it doesn't ship for another day or two. Not etrailer, they did it all on the SAME DAY.
by: Anthony08/22/2022
Nice bracket but does not work well for my application. Hangs the spare tire too low and it drags on everything.
by: MN Tom06/20/2013
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: JC08/08/2016
Mounted perfectly to trailer frame and spare wheel
Comments
Both have been great, no issues.

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.
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.
by: John 09/28/2022
Great place to do business
by: Steve12/14/2021
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.
by: Brandon03/18/2022
Solid spare carrier that mounts anywhere on my square rail trailer. Will buy this model again if needed. Supports a spare on a 15” wheel without issue.

- 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.

- How to Determine Overall Size of Inflated Trailer TireA trailer tire of size ST195/75-15 when mounted and fully inflated will have a width of just under 7-3/4-inches. It will have an overall diameter of approximately 26-1/2-inches. The linked article will show how to determine these dimensions for any tire size.

- 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,...

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.

view full answer... - Location of Spare Tire Carrier to be Installed on Trailer FrameEssentially, you can install a spare tire carrier anywhere it will fit. I recommend placing it on the tongue as far back from the coupler as possible without interfering with anything. This will push its weight as far back as possible on the trailer. I've linked our selection of frame mounted spare tire carriers for trailer frames like the CE Smith # CE27310G. This one is for frames up to 3-1/2 by 4 inches and will fit rims that have a 4 on 4, 5 on 4-1/2, and 5 on 4-3/4 bolt pattern.
view full answer... - Choosing Spare Tire Carrier for Drift Boat TrailerThe first step would be to determine the exact bolt pattern of the wheel. If you click the provided link, you'll be taken to an FAQ article that shows exactly how to do this. Once you determine the bolt pattern, you can compare that information with the specifications for the tire carriers you were interested in. The CE Smith # CE27310G fits 4 and 5 lug wheels, except for a 5 on 5 or a 5 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern. It fits trailer frame members from 1 to 3-1/2 inches thick to 4 inches tall. I...

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 devise...
view full answer... - Does the Size of the Center Bore Matter When Selecting 5 Lug Spare Wheel/Tire for TrailerThe center bore is more or less irreverent when using lug piloted wheels which are most common on trailers. The center bore simply needs to fit over the hub which is rarely an issue. I have attached a list of all our wheel/tires that use a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. I would be glad to make a recommendation if you can provide the tire size. If you don't already have a spare tire carrier, take a look at the CE Smith Offset Spare Tire Carrier part # CE27310G.
view full answer... - CE Smith Offset Spare Trailer Tire Carrier # CE27310G Wheel Mount OffsetThe CE Smith Offset Spare Trailer Tire Carrier # CE27310G has a measurement of 4-1/2" from the outer wheel mounting plate to the trailer plate. Assuming that your wheel has a 0" offset, your tire is 6-1/2" wide so you will have a 3-1/4" from the inner wheel face to the inside tire sidewall. Therefore you will be able to mount the spare wheel and tire with the 4 on 4" lug pattern on the carrier.

Instead I recommend the CE Smith Offset Spare Trailer Tire Carrier - Galvanized Steel - 4- and 5-Lug Wheels # CE27310G which is offset so it will raise the tire further to give additional ground...

view full answer... - Spare Tire Carrier for 2019 Aluma 6818 ESW Utility TrailerI don't offer anything specifically designed for your situation, with the low sidewalls (more of a lip, really) on your Aluma 6810. You could use something such as the CE Smith # CE27310G but you'd need to devise your own way to mount it to the trailer sidewall, probably by through-bolting it. It's very possible that the sidewall is stout enough to handle this, but without knowing what the interior structure of that sidewall is I'd recommend you play it safe by making sure you either tied...
