Today we're going to install and take a look at the Dutton Lainson extra offset trailer spare tire carrier, part number DL22145. Here's what our carrier will look like with our spare tire mounted. As you can see, from the angle of the carrier and then the angle of the face of the carrier that our wheel mounts to, it angles the tire out away from the frame so that we get plenty of clearance between the spare tire and the boat. Now our carrier is designed to fit 13 and 15-inch wheel or rim tires. It will fit 5 on 4 and 1/2-inch bolt pattern and 6 on 5 and 1/2-inch bolt pattern through the 3 studs to bolt to the carrier. Currently we're on a 5 and a 4 and 1/2-inch bolt pattern and we can use the other 3 studs by simply taking the studs out and driving them into the other 3 pre-drilled holes for the 6 and a 5 and 1/2-inch bolt pattern. When bolting to our frame, the carrier is designed to fit a maximum width of 3-inches and maximum height of 5-inches. The carrier and hardware is zinc-plated with a tough plate finish that has 3 times the corrosive resistance of a standard zinc-plated chrome process and 30% greater resistance when compared to powder-coated finishes. Now to mount our spare tire carrier we'll have the main body and bracket that will get clamp to our frame.
I'm going to put my 2 top bolts in place first and slide the bracket on the back, then install the flange nuts. This will help hold the unit in place until we get all our hardware in position. We have multiple pre-drilled holes and we want to stay as close to the frame as possible. Now you'll notice that the nuts don't thread on all the way, because they're lock nuts, once they're in place they're intended to stay in position. Once we have all 4 fasteners in place we're ready to go ahead and tighten them down. Once we have our spare tire carrier securely mounted, we'll go ahead and put the spare tire on, and use the lug nuts provided to secure it to the plate.
Once I got all 3 started we'll just go ahead and tighten them down like we would a wheel. That'll do it for our install and review of the Dutton Lainson extra offset spare tire carrier, part number DL22145. .

This mount is perfect! I have a Tracker Pro 170 and the trailer isn't huge and has a folding tongue. I wanted an angled mount that would keep the spare tire away from the hull so I wouldn't run the risk of hitting the tire when putting the boat back on the trailer. This mount is EXACTLY what the doctor ordered. It was super easy to install and I can still fold the tongue enough to where I can still fit the boat in my garage. NOTE: The front photo doesn't do justice to just how much room there is between the hull and the spare. 604259
Terrific quality, fair price, excellent service. 730558
Very good product. It seems to be well built, and the angled mount gives the extra clearance I need to my boat. Very happy with the purchase. 726016
Product was delivered on time andi n perfect condition. The mount exceeded my expectations. This unit is well built, easy to install and provides plenty on clearance for the 15" spare tire on our Karavan trailer hauling a Bayliner VR5 boat. 706102
Solid quality material. I'm sure it will withhold anything 695142
Dutton-Lainson products are consistently of high quality and capability- spare tire carrier is sturdy, fits well and installation instructions were concise for easy self-install. Delivery from etrailer was on time and product arrived in great condition. Will continue to shop at etrailer for my trailer needs! 683718
Installed easy after I changed the stud configuration to 6 hole. Didn't realize had to use hammer to get studs removed from 3-4 hole to 6. Instructions did say to remove, just wasn't sure how. Once I did that it is working great. 682798
I ended up with this mount as it was recommended to me by Etrailer staff. The first mount I purchased did not give enough clearance on my boat trailer. This turned out to be just what I needed, perfect angle with the boat. Very solid, nice finish. I did have problems with the mounting nuts and bolts that were included; they did not thread properly. Etrailer staff offered to send replacement hardware but due to time constraints had to buy the hardware locally. Kudos to Etrailer staff for taking care of me to the end. 678726

Spare tire holder works great. I have a 6 hole rim, but it also fits some 5 hole rims too. Puts your tire at an angle to avoid marks on the hull. 386676
Been trying to build one of these for a while now ! This is just what i wanted ! Well made ! Put together in about 15 minutes including mounting spare . Would recomend if you can't mount under trailer or on the side straight up !! Thanks for taking the hassle out of mounting my spare !!!! 371026
Well made product - good welds and support - esp. for a tilted version of a spare tire carrier. 306333
As discribed just what I was looking fo r. 265286
Johnny B - 06/26/2017The extra offset of this spare tire carrier is perfect for smaller boats with shallower hulls. A typical carrier wouldn't work with my boat and trailer combination. etrailer.com makes finding and buying the right product fast and easy. 255135
Gregory B - 06/01/2017Great spare tire mount. I have a V hull Lund fishing boat and the traditional vertical mount that I purchased previously did not allow for me to see the side trailering light on the wheel well when mounted. So, I decided to give this one a try, and it did the trick. I was able to mount it further toward the front of the trailer, avoid any contact with the hull, and now can see my running lights! Thanks e-trailer! 255096
This item works as designed. The angled mount was required to keep the tire away from the boat and off the ground. The mount and hardware are high quality. 207027
Just received my spare tire carrier...haven't installed it, but appears to be a quality mount. George gave us quicker shipping than was originally stated for a free upgrade! Ordering was easy and again they upgraded shipping for no extra charge! That's the way to do business! I appreciate it! Will deal with you guys again! 203023
