How to Attach Spare Wheel/Tire to the Curt Trailer Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier 31006

Question:

I got your spare tire carries Item # C31006 for Christmas and the BX88224 anti rattle device. My trailer wheels are the 15inch Jaguar Aluminum Wheel - 6 on 5-1/2. I believe the spare is a plane steel wheel - currently mounted under the trailer. My 5th wheel is a Grand Design 2018 Reflection 150 series 220RK Do you know what size bolts and wheel lug nuts I need to mount the spare to the carrier? Also I should probably have large fender washers too . Do you carry these items? Thanks

If you are using the Aluminum Lynx Trailer Wheel part # LHSL311 then your trailer will have 1/2-20" lug studs therefore, in order to secure your spare wheel/tire to the Curt Trailer Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier part # C31006 I recommend using multiples of the Wheel Stud part # 165995 and the Chrome Trailer Wheel Lug Nut part # 12CLN-L. The lip on the lug stud should be sufficient to attach to the plate so additional washers will not be needed. If you were ever to break a lug stud or lose a lug nut during travel you would have backups this way as well.
