Question:

I have the 24 x 27 TorkLift Lock. I carry 2 Honda 2000 watt generators My question is would a 225 x 75R x 15 spare tire clear the Torklift Lock with the generators? Thank you

In order to determine if a hitch mounted accessory will clear the spare tire on the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier part # RM-195125 you will need to measure the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of said accessory. This distance will need to be more than the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole on the spare tire carrier to the outer edge of the tire which is 5-3/4" plus the width of the tire. If you have a 225/75-15 tire with zero offset then the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the accessory must exceed 10-1/2".
