The only spare tire carrier we offer suitable for the wheels on a 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 Dually which have a 6 on 205mm bolt pattern is the Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier part # RM-195225. This spare tire carrier also swings down to the ground for easy loading/unloading and it retains the receiver use for other accessories.

The spare tire carrier is best used on the rear but you could mount this on the front of the van using a front mount hitch, the EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7352 which offers a bolt-on installation.
