Availability Of A Spare Tire Carrier For A Vintage Trailer Wheel AM20312

For a 14-inch vintage style 4-lug trailer wheel like # AM20312 that has a wide 9.44-inch hole spacing you'll need to get creative to make a spare tire carrier since we have no off-the-shelf solution.

What we have recommended in the past is using a u bolt style carrier like # CE22011Z-11050-2 (12-1/4-inches) or # CE22007Z-11050-2 (8-3/4-inches long) along with a steel plate or disk (this would have to be fabricated) large enough to full most of the inside space on the wheel's mounting surface. The closed end of the u-bolt will go around the frame of the trailer and the other end will go thru the steel plate. I have included a picture below to show what I mean. You may want to use two of the u bolt carriers for safety. I know this is a bit of a DIY solution, but this is the only way I know of to carry a wheel like this
