⚙️ Attwood 11090-3 U-Bolt Style Tire Carrier: Trailer Tongue or Frame Mount for 4- or 5-Lug Hole Rims, Suitable for 8-15-Inch Tires Review

I didn't want to spend a lot of money to mount a spare tire on my boat trailer. This fits with no problems. My only issue is that the mounts don't quite fit onto the rim.

Instead of the threads (just over 2 threads) of the stop piece, a nut should have been welded to the stop piece. * Easy to cross thread. If you do this, just drill and add…

It's okay. I think this is a sensible alternative to other forms of spare wheel mounting. I've looked at LOTS of them because I have a very specific place I want to put one (behind the trailer door). Simple design. The locking method is very intelligent and convenient. It's pretty easy to secure it and have a lock. The fact that the stud is a perfect rectangle means you can mount it in many places including drilling a hole in a trailer wall to mount it. Others that are similar don't have…
