Speaker 1: Today we're taking a look at an Offset Trailer Spare Tire Carrier.Now, this spare tire carrier mounts to your trailer frame and moves your spare tire up and away from your trailer, so people who are towing boat trailers really like this type of spare tire mount because it moves the spare tire away from the boat.The unit is constructed of heavy duty steel construction, so it's very strong and durable, and it has a zinc TUFFPLATE finish on it. That is designed to keep the unit protected from rust and corrosion. This spare tire bracket is designed for 9" to 14" wheels with either 4-hole rims, which would be a 4" bolt circle, or 5-hole rims, which would be 4-1/2" bolt circle.It fits trailer frames up to 3" wide, and up to 5" tall, so you can see the multiple mounting holes that we have here. This makes the unit ready for installation onto a 3", 4", or 5" tall frame. Again, that frame needs to be 3" wide or less. Now, frame members wider than 3" do require replacement at the existing mounting bolts, or the included mounting bolts, with bolts of appropriate length.It does come with mounting hardware to get the unit installed onto your trailer, and it comes with hardware to hold the spare tire onto the carrier.
You'll notice that we have three square holes right here. You would place the carriage bolts through the top and bottom center square holes for a 4-hole rim, and you would use the top and bottom corner square holes for a 5-hole rim. They install from the back side. Place them on there. Place your keeper on, which keeps the bolts in place, and then you place your spare tire on, and then you secure it with the included hardware.Now, if you would like to guard against theft, I recommend using a cable lock.
You can place it through the center hole in the top plate, and then through the center hub hole in the wheel to lock the wheel and bracket to the trailer. Cable and locks are sold separately and available at etrailer.com.I just want to go over some basic measurements with you real quick. When it comes to the carrier measurements, this unit features a 4-1/2" side offset, so it scoots it from this point here, out to the plate, 4-1/2" away from the trailer, and then from this point here to the top of this bracket, that's 4-3/4" height offset from the box. This plate right here, this is called the wheel mounting plate. It measures right at 4" wide by almost 5-1/2", about 5-7/16" tall.Again, we're looking at a nice, durable construction.
Everything you need to get it installed is included, and the product's also made in the U.S.A.That's going to do it for today's look at the Dutton-Lainson Offset Trailer Spare Tire Carrier.

I was more than happy with my order it got here two days earlier then they said it would. I'll always shop here for my trailer equipment! 718461
Sturdy bracket...seems worth the cost. 91181
This is a very good quality product. Heavy duty stuff. I love it but it won't fit my trailer. That's my fault because I mis-measured. Wish I could use this product. I really like it. Also Customer Service was very prompt and helpful in the return. I will be back to do business with etrailer.com! 145037
Very impressed with how easy it was to find what I needed. I purchased this product to use on my galvanized boat trailer to hold my spare tire. This seems to be a very sturdy corrosion resistant mount and locks on to the trailer frame very easily....total install time was less than 10 minutes. The only issue I have with this mount is that the bolts that hold the tire on are not the same size as the lugs on the trailer tire. However, I would definitely recommend this product as a quality spare tire carrier. 21898

Installed in less than 5 minutes. Excellent design. 647834
Super fast shipping. Product was of pretty good quality and very easy to install. I put both my spare tires on the trailer and it looks great. 599264
I bought this tire mount along with a tire for my tandem boat trailer. The quality of the finish and hardware will allow this to last for a long time. The product description and shipping have sold me on etrailer.com. 392585
Received the spare tire holder and lock right on time. Great quality and am very satisfied. Will purchase from here again. 472343
I have a 26 foot boat with a tandem axle trailer. I must travel quite a bit to reach the ocean. Having two spare tires gives piece of mind. I have the exact product on the starboard side of the trailer and have now installed another spare tire on the port side of the trailer. Most trailer frames are either 3" or 4" tall however, the DMH trailer frame is 5" tall and this product fits perfect. One suggestion that I would make is that all hardware (bolts, nuts, washers, etc.) be stainless steel. I noticed that the older bracket hardware is showing signes of rust from salt air exposure. Shipping was very good and I would purchase from this vendor again. 44898
Works well, just as advertised 720925
Despite being stored outside all of the time, it is not rusting. 715311
Product came today...Had it on in minutes. Solid construction. Looks like it is going to work just right. Lady at etrailer helped me find what I needed. She did an excellent job and was very courteous and patient with me. Good price also. 707861
Well made and easy to install. The frame of my trailer is 4.5" and this is the only bracket I found that would fit. 669664
Very good quality and the right color for my aluminum trailer. I decided to take a risk and mount it directly to the sidewalk but it seems really solid. Hoping for years of reliable service... 647134
Seems solid and well built. Easy installation. I had to mount it to the side of the rear bumper next to the bracket so there was less wobble. That was due to the bumper on my camper, not the bracket. We'll find out more as I get more miles on it. 646877
Easy to install 617061
great product very well made it fit great on my car hauler which has the 5inch beam. It mounted easily and away from my trailer so don't have worry about it rubbing against it . 608139
The bolt pattern didn't work but I think I can still use the carrier with a small modification. Trailer bolt pattern is about an inch larger than the carrier bolt pattern. Installation was very easy. 590808
Very durable product which should provide many years of service. 579260
This is the third purchase that I have made from E trailer. All items have arrived as advertised and have been easy to install as noted. I will continue to use E trailer for any items needed. They are a quality company and I thank George for his follow ups. Rocky 571061
