The Demco Spare Tire Carrier for up to 4" Trailer Tongue part # DM15851-52 doesn't have a weight capacity and it's not common for spare tire carriers to have this either. The bolt pattern compatibility will help limit overloading. For example, the carrier works with any wheel/tire combo that has a bolt pattern up to 8 on 6-1/2". Therefore, so long as your bolt pattern is this or smaller you won't have an issue with capacity. I have attached the full list of bolt patterns below.

4 on 4"
5 on 4.5"
5 on 4.75"
5 on 5.0"
5 on 5.5"
6 on 5.5"
8 on 6.5"
