Question:

Can you use the Fulton economy spare tire carrier on an angle iron 16ft trailer with ST205-75-R15 tires on 4.75 bolt pattern? I think it will fit but I was wondering about the tire being snugged up against the edge of the angle iron. Will that damage the tire over time?

Helpful Expert Reply:

The Fulton Economy Spare Tire Carrier - Lockable # FETCLB0201 or the Fulton Economy Spare Tire Carrier with Wheel Nut Lock # FETCSTL0701 will work with your bolt pattern. I've attached a video to show the installation on a similar angle iron frame to assist. The angle iron can cause wear over time on the sidewall of the tire, so I recommend rotating the spare every so often to give you less wear on a single part of the tire.
