The only type of spare tire carriers we have that will fit a wheel with a 5 on 5" bolt pattern are the u-bolt type. For this, I recommend the Fulton Economy Spare Tire Carrier with Wheel Nut Lock part # FETCSTL0701. You may need to bend the u-bolt just slightly to make it fit the wheel. This carrier will fit a trailer frame up to 3", has a zinc plated finish for corrosion resistance, and comes with a lock for the wheel.

I have attached a few photos to show the different ways it can be attached for you.

Aluminum is a pretty soft metal. Especially as thin as you mentioned. I wouldn't recommend self tappers for the e-track. Instead I would recommend appropriately sized nuts and bolts on either side of the track with larger washers.

Self tappers like the part #SL99FR would work great as they have drill bits on the end which would make it through the metal of your studs and then attach.

Answer 9

On an 4 foot long section of E-track #EM19147 and 2 screws every 16 inches that is a total of 6 screws in the aluminum frame. This most likely will not get you near the capacity of the E-track. I recommend bolting through the aluminum frame so that…
