Today we're here in our enclosed trailer and we're going to be taking a look at the Rackem Spare Tire Carrier for E-Track, part number RA-16HST. Now you'll see here on our trailer, we've got our spare tire just laying on the ground which is common but it's always in the way so you're always having to move it out of the way whenever you want to load something in or get it out of your trailer. Now this particular trailer here, it already has some standard vertical E-Track, the part number on the E-Track is E19148. This Rackem spare tire carrier is designed to go in any of the slots here, depending on where you want to mount the spare tire. We're going to go ahead and put our tire down low here. You'll notice there's a little clip here that you'll squeeze in so then you'll slide it into the track, drop it down, secure it. To remove it, pull in on the tab, gently lift up and drop it down. We'll go ahead and reinstall it here in our E-Track. We'll need to remove the wing nut and the flat washer. Once we have that done, we can go ahead and take our spare tire and set up in place.
Now you'll want to go through the center hole on your spare tire, you'll then take the threaded arm on the backside, go through one of the lug nut holes, we'll then take our flat washer and our wing nut and tighten it down. This will secure the tire here to the holder. Now we have our tire secure here on our E-Track, we don't have the problem of the tire on the floor and in the way. Yet it's easily removable when we need it if we ever have a flat tire and that'll do it for our look at the Rackem Spare Tire Holder for E-Track systems, part number RA-16HST. .

Works great to hold my trailer spare. 608745
I have had two of these break on me so far. The company did replace the second free of charge but when it snapped, the spare came down on the car I was hauling inside my trailer. You can see the two tabs on the top that hold the bracket in the E-Track are not substantial. That was the point of failure on both. Perhaps it is just not strong enough for the weight of full size 15" wheels. 682215
the piece is well made and will help neaten up the trailer by getting the spare out of the way.Plus factor is it is inside the trailer,no rusty bolts to undo. 361291
Thomkid - 04/01/2018Works on my etrack just like it was designed. Awesome flexibility for location. Order Service by etrailer.com was top notch. 80316
Calvin P - 02/05/2019I was concerned about putting the weight of a spare tire on the e-Track, but it really is not a problem. This bracket holds the tire up close and tight, so there's really no room for the tire to move once it is screwed down. The e-track on the front of my trailer is screwed very solidly into the metal frame of the V-nose structure, so the weight of the tire goes right into the frame, and isn't trying to pull wood screws out of plywood. In the pictures, I have the tire mounted low because that is the most convenient place for placing and removing the tire, but it works equally well on the higher tracks, and that gets it out of the way for loading most things in the trailer. 127526

Patrick B - 10/14/2014Allows an easy placement of the spare and the bolt securly keeps it in place 613148
Works as it should. I had to trim about a 1/4 off the top of the mount to make my trailer spare tire slip over it easier, but no big deal. Works great in my horizontal e-track on the trailer wall. 558330
I had my spare tire bungee corded to the inside wall of my trailer. Now it's mounted to my E-Track about 4 1/2 feet up the wall. It really is nice to have the extra floor space. 200861
Sam B - 06/04/2016My Rackem Spare Tire Rack has been mounted on my hauler wall for a year. There have been no problems with it. The tire stays in place with lots of trips, it's a very easy product to install that works. 494789
The RackEm RA-16 works fairly well, but has a couple of design flaws, both of which have been noted by other reviewers: 1. The threaded nut is difficult to maneuver and not very long. This makes placing relatively large tires (16" 8-lug wheels in my case) difficult. 2. The main post is rectangular, unlike a wheel center which is pretty much always is round. Both of these flaws tend to scratch aluminum wheels. To deal with the first problem I used a plastic washer and a metal washer, which made it even more difficult to mount the wheel. To fix the second problem, I have a sturdy rag rapped around the post. The wheel has been mounted in my trailer for a year. Getting it up there was such a hassle that it is going to stay there unless I need it as a spare. Fortunately, I can check the tire pressure with it mounted. This product is a great idea, however, it would be MUCH improved this were a two-piece, or three-piece design with protection for aluminum surfaces. Perhaps inspiration can be found from a garden hose faucet. 368641
Great Products for both the spare tire/wheel and the carrier. Neglected to purchase a spare for my trailer when I bought it and this site had a great selection that allowed me to match my tires and rims. Carrier works perfect for my setup. 450211
