Question:
Will the dual spare tire carrier be able to handle two 225 75R15 trailer tires for a 24 enclosed trailer? Theyre a bit larger tires and not knowing the dimensions, It looks like the only option might be two strips of e-track.

Expert Reply:
Your 225/75-15 tires should be slightly over 28-9/32 inches in diameter, so combined you would be looking at about 56-19/32 inches in order to clear both tires. I spoke with my contact at Rack'Em, and the # RA-16 spare tire rack has an overall length of 49 inches, but the E-track portion of the rack is only 25-1/2 inches long. Even with one tire in the top slot and the other in the bottom slot, you would still be a few inches short of fitting both tires on the rack.
If your trailer is tall enough, you may be able to use the # RA-16 if you either mount additional E-track like part # E19146 on the wall below the rack, or my Rack'Em contact suggested welding some additional track to the bottom of the wall rack itself.
In either option, you would also need an additional spare tire carrier, part # RA-16HST.
I am including a link to the installation instructions for the # RA-16 rack, if needed.
