Clamp this durable steel, folding spare tire carrier onto your trailer or RV bumper. Fits 4" wide, rear, box-style bumpers. Holds most standard automotive and camper tires.by: Robert10/02/2019
Installed quickly and easily using basic hand tools. I followed the directions and torqued the nuts on the u-bolts to 30 lb ft, which ended up bending the corners of the mounting flanges. I'm using this to hold a 205/75R14 spare tire, and I hope that the rest of the mount will hold up with use. First chance I get, I will be pulling this off, hammering the flange corners back flat, and welding on an additional piece of plate to strengthen the flange.

Fine product, sturdy. For our popup tent trailer, it needed a little extra securing due to the fact that our trailer's bumper is not solid and it would wobble with the weight of the tire.
by: Dan the Man10/22/2015
I have a Class A and tow a dolly. My dolly does not have space to attach a spare tire. This spare tire holder mounts perfectly on my rear bumper. It's out of the way, easily accessible and looks good.

Sturdy product-easy install about 20 minutes-fast delivery-Third purchase from etrailer - great service and products

-My application for this "Carrier" was to hold a Thor / Ford E350 Full size spare tire. This carrier's description is "a Spare Tire Carrier". This infers it is heavy duty enough in its quality construction to hold a spare tire. Its weakness is it uses as its mount the hollow square, thin wall, rear bumper found on many RV's. This square tubing bumper with the spare tire's weight will flex, and eventually collapse the square tube bumper. To make it worse this collapse occurs when on the road and has caused on-the-road incidents.
For your information there is an online video of a repair made to a collapsed square tube bumper, including the upgrade repair to this very same "Spare Tire Carrier". If interested I can send a link to this video. I am sure you can find it on your own.
At the least to make this application safer and longer lasting I would require the purchaser add a Towing Receiver Extension be installed. Like the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Hitch Receivers - 8" Long Item # C45791. It would give a mounting surface to help the Square Tube Bumper hold the Spare Tire's weight. Without this additional support the "Spare Tire Carrier" will not safely, reliably hold the weight of a full size truck tire.

I recently bought a spare tire carrier for my camper from etrailer and I can say it was a pleasant experience arrived sooner than expected due to Bryan’s shipping up grade. The packaging was well done and it was in perfect shape. Now here is the crazy part it is no longer a spare tire carrier I am a ham radio operator and use my gear while camping in the middle of nowhere. It was just what I needed to make the mount for my 24’ fiberglass antenna tower. I cut it down and welded a pipe to it now my fiberglass pipes fit inside and I can just walk the portable tower up and pin it in place.
by: Mike M.07/02/2017
Poor quality product. Metal is too thin for the application allowing the wheel/tire to wobble and vibrate. U-shaped bracket cracked all the way through where it attaches to vertical post. A stress fracture started at the corners of one of the square holes punched for the carriage bolts. This happened after only 3k miles on the road and less than a month of exposure to the elements.

Will fit my Coleman 17R RV bumper to mount Karrier spare tire and rim I received from you yesterday. Perfect!
by: Phillip04/26/2020
The product is able to hold the weight of our spare tire but the design puts too much stress on the bumper of our Minnie Winnie. With the extension of on the carrier and spare tire rim, the weight of the tire pulls away from the motorhome and puts stress on the bumper. I strongly discourage this for a Class C motorhome.
by: James06/09/2022
The original spare tire mount supplied by the dealer was beginning to fail. So, I went on the hunt for a replacement. After reviewing many I decided on the Ultra-Fab. It is well designed, well made and installs easily. Also, it has a Life Time Warrenty.
by: DeNomolos04/15/2023
One year later, spare tire carrier is still holding the spare tire like it is supposed to. Trailer is stored outside, so it's exposed to CA weather. No rust or any other distress noted to the carrier. I'm happy!
by: Chris08/08/2020
The spare tire carrier is good quality and easy to install. It shipped quickly and arrived on time. I am always pleased with etrailer’s service!

Just what I was looking for. Had the ground clearance I required for off road at a fair price. Easy to install.

Its worked out perfectly. I ended up having it welded further back towards the trailer to maximize turning radius. Its just what I was looking for.

This doesn’t fit my 8 hole 16” trailer tire
Richard
5/14/2023
They never worked at all. They don’t fit the 16” 8 hole wheels. I modified them to fit but they were so flimsy the spare wheel was wobbling while I was driving down the road so I took it off and made my own

This spare tire carrier is a universal style and does fit most 8 bolt wheels. If you send me a photo of your wheels it will be helpful to determine what went wrong.
by: Rex 02/10/2024
Simple and works well. Worth it.
by: Evan 11/27/2021
Easy installation. Appears to be a study construction considering the price. I like the bracket that bolts onto the upright to hold the tire. It is more solid than the old one i had that was welded and started cracking. Shipping from etrailer was quick as usual.

No changes and that is a good thing since the quality appears ok a year later.

This is exactly what I expected. Also, great customer service! Here’s a pic… I bought both the extra spare and mount on the right from etrailer on different orders… extremely happy with everything.

Happy with product fast shipping easy installation.
Was unable to locate product at any automotive stores.
Found online.
Mounted fine to my newly installed bumper on my. 1965 silver streak.

After looking at several products similar to this I decided this was the best product to fit my needs. I am more than happy with the end result of this product. Thanks etrailer

I needed a tire carrier for a large tire (my spare for my truck)on my boat trailer as I wouldn’t be able to get to my spare carrier on my truck. This carrier had to raise my spare higher as my spare tire is much larger than my boat tires and it would drag when backing down boat ramps. The ultra fab spare tire was the answer for me.
Bob

It still on my boat trailer and still perfect.
by: Bryan08/17/2020
I needed a spare tire for my rv and a mount. This wheel is exactly like the ones on my rv and the tire is better. Shipping is fast. I couldn't be more pleased.
by: Dr. Don08/23/2022
Excellent product! I thought there was going to be lots of play due to its pin, but I was very surprised with how little movement there is. The ability to lower the tire gives me access to the back of my camper - very convenient indeed (do not have to remove the tire and/or carrier bracket)!

- Spare Tire Carrier for Dually Style Wheel with 225/75R16 MountedAs long as your dual wheel and tire weighs less than 60 lbs the Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier # UF15-954730 will work. Only issue I foresee is that most dually style wheels and tires do weigh more than 60 lbs. This is designed to fit a 4 inch square bumper like yours as long as it's a totally boxed frame.
view full answer... - Weight of Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier UF15-954730Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier # UF15-954730 weighs about 9-lbs. The shipping weight including the packaging materials is 10-lbs. This tire carrier fits 4-inch rear box-style bumpers and it holds most standard automotive and camper tires. It is safe to use with a spare wheel/tire that weighs up to 60-lbs. It also folds as shown in the linked photo.

- Spare Tire Carrier for Rear of RV that Does Not Use HitchMost likely you have a 4 inch square bumper at the rear of your Class A RV. With that you can use the Ultra Fab Spare Tire Carrier part # UF15-954730. I attached a picture that shows the rack being used to carry a wheel on an RV.

- Trailer Spare Tire Carrier That Fits 5-on-4-3/4-Inch Wheel Bolt PatternYour 5-on-4-3/4-inch wheel bolt pattern is fairly uncommon these days and most of our trailer-mount spare tire carriers do not work with this pattern. None of the CE Smith carriers will work but my contact at Ultra-Fab said that their # UF15-954730 bumper-mount carrier WILL work with your 5-on-4-3/4-inch wheels. Since this unit uses a rectangular plate to secure the wheel at the pilot hole the fit is not super-sensitive to the slight difference in hole spacing between a 5-on-4-1/2 wheel...
view full answer... - Spare Tire Carrier Recommendation for RV BumperSounds like you would want to use a bumper mounted spare tire carrier like the part # UF15-954730. As long as you have a 4 inch by 4 inch square bumper at the rear of your 2010 E-350 Cutaway this carrier would work well for you.
view full answer... - Bumper Mounted Spare Tire Carrier Recommendation for Lance TrailerThe bumper mounted spare tire carriers like the part # UF15-954730 are designed to fit 4 inch by 4 inch square bumpers that are continuously welded. Check out the picture I attached that shows this carrier mounted to the style of bumper it is compatible with it. When you said you have a flat bumper I am assuming this is what you meant.

- How to Determine the Bolt Pattern on a Trailer Wheel for Ultra-Fab Bumper Mount Spare Tire CarrierThe 5 on 5 wheel that you are referring to is a wheel that has 5 bolt holes for lug nut studs and a 5 inch diameter bolt circle. A 5 on 5 bolt pattern is not a common bolt pattern for trailer wheels. You can do some measuring to determine the bolt pattern of your wheel. If you have 5 bolt holes on your wheel, then you can measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the adjacent bolt hole. If this measurement is 3 inches, then you have a 5 on 5 wheel. If this measurement...

- What Size Bolts Hold Wheels to The Ultra Fab Spare Tire Carrier part # UF15-954730½”-20x1½” is the size of the carriage bolts that the Ultra Fab Spare Tire Carrier part # UF15-954730 uses to secure the wheel to it.
view full answer... - Does Weight Influence Where to Mount Ultra-Fab Bumper Mount Spare Tire Carrier UF15-954730There won't be enough weight for the carrier and your tire to influence where you need to mount the Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier for Trailers and RVs - Bumper Mount # UF15-954730. The carrier only weighs 10 lbs and has a maximum capacity of 60 lbs, which isn't going to be enough of a weight factor to truly make any type of difference in how your trailer tracks. I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well of the Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier...
view full answer... - Spare Tire Carrier Recommendation for a 2014 Thor Chateau MotorcoachAs long as the rear bumper of your 2014 Thor Chateau Motorcoach has a 4 inch by 4 inch bumper that is confirmed to be able to carry weight the Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier # UF15-954730 would work well for you. I did a little research and it looks like you do have a 4 inch bumper, but I would still recommend you confirm this. I attached a review video for this carrier for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Can Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier # UF15-954730 be Mounted on a Trailer FrameYes, provided that the trailer frame is 4 inches square you could mount the Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier # UF15-954730 on a trailer frame. Since your frame is smaller (the picture looks like you started measuring at the 1 inch mark on the tape which would make it 3-1/2 inches tall and 2 inches wide) you would need alternate u-bolts and would have to modify the carrier for the alternate u-bolts. I have no doubt that the frame will handle the spare tire without any issues.

- How Far Down Does the Stromberg Carlson Carrier part # TR-2 FoldThe only folding spare tire carrier we offer is the Stromberg Carlson Carrier part # TR-2 which only folds as far as the picture I attached. I couldn't recommend modifying this carrier to let it drop further as that would void the warranty.

- Spare Tire Carrier Designed to fit 5 on 4-3/4 In Bolt Pattern SpareThe Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier # UF15-954730 will accept your 5 on 4-3/4 spare as well. This carrier fits a 4 inch square RV/trailer bumper. We tested this here once on a rim with your bolt pattern and found that it fit.
view full answer... - Folding RV Spare Tire Carrier RecommendationFor a folding spare tire carrier the Ultra Fab part # UF15-954730 would be your best option. It is designed to fit a 4 inch square bumper. I attached a review video for this carrier for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Is an Extension Available for the Ultra-Fab Spare Tire Carrier?There are options for you to transport a spare tire for your trailer, but extensions are not available for the Ultra-Fab Spare Tire Carrier, # UF15-954730. If your trailer will not allow the use of a bumper-mounted carrier, I recommend installing a front-mounted hitch on your vehicle and using a spare tire carrier such as the Draw-Tite # 6715. If you let me know what type of vehicle you have, I can recommend a front-mounted hitch for you. I've also added a link to a video review of the...
view full answer... - Spare Tire Carrier Recommendation for 6 Lug Wheel on 4 inch BumperThe Ultra Fab Spare Tire Carrier part # UF15-954730 is designed to fit 4 inch bumpers like what you have and can fit 6 lug wheels as well. This would be a great option. In terms of tire cracking it would be about the same exposure to the sun and elements as the tires on the trailer so it really wouldn't be any better or worse. You could always install the spare tire cover part # # 052963751604 on the spare to protect it from the sun.
view full answer... - Spare Tire Cover For A 225/75R15The Rampage Spare Tire Cover # RA772901 is made for tires between 27 inch to 29 inches. Your 225/75R15 tire is around 28 inches. This cover is UV-resistant and has an adjustment cord in the rear seam that grips the tire for a snug fit. I attached a review video link below.
view full answer... - Recommended Spare Tire Carrier for Trailer Frame with L-Shaped Angle Iron ProfileFor your trailer's L-shaped frame profile it will be best to add some wood blocks (or have more metal welded on in the desired location) to provide an attachment point for a bumper-mount carrier like the Stromberg Carlson # TR-1 or the similar folding Ultra-Fab # UF15-954730. Both use u-bolt hardware for attachment. We offer spare tire carriers in many types to suit a wide variety of trailer applications. All can be seen by clicking on the included link. Please feel free to send a picture...
view full answer... - Spare Tire Carrier That Fits 4 Inch Square Bumper to Carry 14 Inch Tire and 5-Lug WheelThe best option for a spare tire carrier for your 4" square bumper that will work with your 14" tire and 5-lug wheel is the Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier for Trailers and RVs - Bumper Mount # UF15-954730 which will work for you so long as your wheel bolt pattern is not 5 on 5". The Bumper Mounted Tire Carrier - U-Bolt Mount # TR-1 is designed for 15" and 16" travel trailer tires only, according to the manufacturer so I would not be able to confirm it will work for you. I have...
view full answer... - Spare Tire Carrier For Eight Lug WheelYes, the carrier I would suggest is the Ultra Fab # UF15-954730 which is compatible with 5, 6, and 8 lug wheels. It's a bumper-mounted carrier and you should be able to fit two on your trailer. If you haven't already done so, it would be wise to invest in covers to protect those tires and wheels until you need them. Adco's black spare tire cover # 290-1733 are a great fit for your ST235/85R16 tires.
view full answer... - Bumper Mounted Spare Tire Carrier Recommendation for 13 inch Wheel with 5 Lug Bolt PatternI have a solution for you but the part # TR-1 will not fit a 13 inch wheel size. Instead you'd want the part # UF15-954730 which is a similar bumper mounted spare mount that will fit a 13 inch wheel with a 5 lug bolt pattern as long as the bolt pattern is NOT 5 on 5 inch.
view full answer... - Replacement Bumper Mounted Spare Tire Carrier For Travel TrailerThere is not a replacement rectangular piece of metal that holds the wheel in place for your bumper-mounted spare tire carrier. There is nothing I am aware of that can be used as some sort of alternative, the only option that I know will work is to replace the carrier with the Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier # UF15-954730 or Bumper Mounted Tire Carrier - U-Bolt Mount # TR-1.
view full answer... - Recommended Bumper Mount Spare Tire Carrier for a 8 Lug LT225/75R16E Tire I recommend the Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier for Trailers and RVs - Bumper Mount item # UF15-954730. This carrier has a capacity of 60 lbs and will work with lug patterns up to 5, 6, and 8 lug wheels. It is designed to fit square 4" x 4" bumpers. I also recommend using the Adco's black spare tire cover item # 290-1733 to protect your wheel and tire. It looks like your wheel and tire have a diameter of just above 29" so this will fit perfectly.
view full answer... - Ultra-Fab # UF15-954730 Spare Tire Carrier for 2012 Holiday Rambler Class C MotorhomeUnless your wheel has a 5 lug on a 5 inch bolt circle, the Ultra-Fab # UF15-954730 spare tire carrier would be a good choice. The carrier has a 70 lb capacity, and is compatible with most 5,6 and 8 lug wheels. The carrier is designed for use on a 4 inch by 4 inch bumper.
