Spare Tire Carrier For 8 Inch Wheels On A 2 Inch Square Frame
Updated 12/22/2020 | Published 12/18/2020
Question:
I need a spare tire carrier for my trailer. the wheel is 8 inches, 5 bolt design with 4.5 inch spacing. the carrier will mount on a 2inch square frame member and if it can have a rise that would be preferable. i was looking at the Fulton high mount Item # FSTC1000301, but the video said the wheel needs to be at least 10 inches. Any suggestions?

This Fulton Hi-Mount Spare Tire Carrier # FHDSTC0101 Fits 4, 5 and 6 lug wheels up to 16-1/2 inches in diameter. This is a measurement of the wheel and not the whole diameter of the wheel and tire. It provides a 4-3/4 inch lift and fits trailer tongues up to 3 inches wide and 5 inches tall. Seems like this is perfect for what you're wanting!
