Hey Cliff. The Roadmaster Hitch Spare Tire Mount with 2" Receiver Opening item # RM95MR has a 400 lbs tongue weight capacity, which includes the weight of the spare tire. If you're just using it for a spare tire carrier 400 lbs.
The Roadmaster item # RM95MR fits a 2-1/2" hitch receiver, is compatible with 16" - 24-1/2" wheels, and works with all lug nut patterns. It has a 2" receiver you can use for accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers or to flat tow a vehicle.
What kind rig are you driving?
