Question:

Do you have a version for a six lug? I think these could potentially fit even though it says five lug, let me know your thoughts?

Expert Reply:

Hey Chris, thanks for reaching out. The CE Smith Spare Tire Mount # CE27201 will not work with a 6-lug (6 on 5-1/2") wheel. I went and grabbed one from our warehouse and tried to fit it thru the holes on a 6-lug wheel and it would not fit. You'd have to bend it like superman to get it to fit and this might weaken the bolt, not to mention the lock brackets would be too far apart to work with most standard padlocks.

If you have 6-lug wheels, I have to recommend using something specifically made for 6-lug wheels. We have a few options for that. Take a look at the following:

- Tie Down High-Mount Spare Tire Mount - 4, 5, and 6 Lug Wheels - Galvanized Steel # TD78FR

- Tie Down Pivoting Spare Tire Mount - 4, 5, and 6 Lug Wheels - Galvanized Steel # TD46FR

- Tie Down Spare Tire Mount - 4, 5, and 6 Lug Wheels - Galvanized Steel # TD86FR
