Features to know about

Side-Mount Spare Tire Carrier for Boat or Utility Trailers

When you're getting ready to head to the lake for a day of fishing, or go get supplies for a DIY project, you don't want the spare taking up any your cargo space. This side-mount carrier bolts to your trailer tongue, giving the tire a permanent home that's out of the way but near where you'll need it when a flat happens. It's one less thing to shuffle when you're getting ready to head out for the day, and one more piece of your setup you can count on.

Use it with 4- or 5-Lug Wheels

A flat isn't the time to find out your mount was flimsy. This carrier is built from extra heavy-duty welded steel, finished in a black powder coat that looks sharp on most trailer frames and shrugs off spray from the ramp. It's adjustable to fit both 4- and 5-lug wheels and designed for 3" x 4" tongues. And installation is quick with the included hardware. Once bolted on, your spare is locked in tight, ready whenever a flat puts your rig on the shoulder.

Hi, everyone. Steve here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at our Tie Down Side Mount Spare Tire Mounts for four and five lug wheels with a nice black powder coat finish. So folks, this side mount spare tire carrier boost an adjustable boats circle. So you got one, two, three different hole options. And these lugs, or studs rather, could come through this way.

Depending on if you have four or five bolt pattern, you would then have to adjust and move one around to fit the pattern that you're looking for for your specific spare tire. And of course you get the two U-bolts and all the mount hardware and everything included. Nice, sturdy, heavy duty steel. This fits three inch wide by four inch tall trailer tongues, and it's designed to fit boat trailers and utility trailers mainly that are up and need this kind of space and this kind of setup to get that spare tire up and out of the way. And with this, the spare tire is gonna remain secure, well protected throughout your journeys.

And again that rough, or the rugged powder coat finish rather, is gonna stand up against the test of time as far as corrosion, the marine water life and those kind of things whenever you're going in and outta the water. So it's a great option for you and if you need anything else, just reach out to us. We're happy to assist you if you need some other parts or accessories other than the spare tire mount. And reach out to us if you have questions about this product as well. Folks, that we're wrap it up for our quick look together.

I'm Steven, thanks for watching.

fits my 15x5, 5x4.5 wheel. my 6x10 v nose trailer has a pretty short tongue so it barely fits. it also makes the spare the lowest hard part on my setup but it hasn't been an issue. i recommend a deep socket with a 6 inch extension on an impact to reach the nuts holding it to the frame.

That’s a clean setup, thanks for sharing the photo. Looks like you made it work really well with that shorter tongue. Good call pointing out the clearance too, that’s helpful for anyone with a similar V-nose setup. And that tip with the deep socket and extension is spot on, those can be a pain to reach otherwise. Glad to hear it’s been working without any issues. What do you usually haul with your trailer?

Fast install, nice looking, and it lifts my spare tire so that it doesn't scrape the ramp when launching my boat.

I needed a heavier duty tire mount and this one is perfect for my car trailer spare tire.

The mount was easy easy to install and stable. The only slight problem was that the trailer mounting "U" bolt was a little long on the bottom as it touched the wheel when mounted. Solution, I cut 1 inch off of the bottom threads to insure it would not contact the wheel or tire. The trailer design really was the source of this slight problem.

Very good quality and fast service.

Exactly what I needed
by:
Bolts too long. And no bracket so the ugly side faces out

Works great and we'll built!
