Hey Shaun,
I'll send you a separate email for those pictures and we can try to figure out where to mount your spare tire.
Got the pictures, based on the setup a clamp-on spare tire carrier, like the Offset Trailer Spare Tire Mount by Dutton-Lainson # DL22120 is going to be the best option. This can fit on trailer frames up to 3" wide x 5" tall and fits wheel sizes 9" to 14". It works with 4 on 4 and 5 on 4.5 bolt patterns.

Hey Shaun, how did the clamp-on spare tire mount work out on your boat trailer? It’d be great to hear if it fit your frame and wheel size as expected. Your update could make it easier for others setting up a similar trailer.
