The Dutton-Lainson Offset Trailer Spare Tire Carrier # DL22120 is indeed designed for wheel sizes of 9- to 14-inches. It is not recommended for 15-inch tires due to the reduced ground clearance from mounting this large a tire on a typical-height trailer.
We do offer the Fulton Hi-Mount Spare Tire Carrier, part # FSTC1000301, that fits trailer frames up to 3-inches wide and 4-inches high and works with 4-on-4 and 5-on-4-1/2 wheel bolt patterns. This tire carrier offers 5-1/2-inches of rise... view full answer...

The distance from where the Bumper Mounted Spare Tire Carrier - U-Bolt Mount, item # TR-1, will mount to the top of the bumper to the top of the spare tire carrier is 13-1/8 inches. There is a metal tab on the back of the spare carrier that rests on the top of the bumper when mounted.
You will need to keep in mind that the spare tire will mount to the carrier and will stick up 1/2 of the overall diameter of the tire from the center of the tire mounting location.

The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the furthest part of the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125 is 16 inches, with the furthest part of the carrier that sticks out being the mounting bracket.
Keep in mind that's without a spare tire or any hardware mounted to the bracket, so a spare tire will add extra distance to the furthest point of the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125. view full answer...
To add a spare tire carrier to your Coleman 17b Travel Trailer, I recommend the Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier for Trailers and RVs item # UF15-954730.

I spoke with Stromberg Carlson and they do not have a stated weight capacity for the TR-2 spare tire carrier. They said it can be used with trailer or travel trailer spare tires, but should not be used to carry spares for powered vehicles like cars, trucks or RV/Motorhomes.
It should strictly be used to carry trailer spares. view full answer...

This spare tire carrier will attach to your 2014 Subaru Forester's 2" hitch receiver. It fits multiple lug nut patterns so you will have no problems with compatibility. I have attached a diagram. view full answer...
I spoke with my contact at Curt Manufacturing about Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier, # c31006. He stated that it will hold your spare provided that the trailer hitch on the front of your vehicle is also capable of supporting the combined weight of the spare and the carrier.
He stated that basically the weight capacity of the carrier is whatever the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch is. view full answer...
The Curt Cargo Carrier you mentioned, part # C18150 has a fixed shank that is 11 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the nearest part of the carrier, which will most likely be enough to clear your spare tire. Just to be sure, I would recommend taking some measurements to confirm.
Have a helper hold a straight piece of lumber like a 2x4 up flat against the rear of the spare. Then, measure rearward from the hitch pin hole in your receiver until you hit the piece of wood. Then,... view full answer...
The Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125 is going to have a height of 24" from the center of the receiver to the center of the spare tire mount. view full answer...
The Spare Tire Carrier for Roadmaster Tow Dollies # RM-2000-7 will only fit wheels up to 14 inches in diameter, so it won't work with your large 8 lug, 16 inch wheel and tire combo.
The only option we do have for a spare tire carrier for a wheel and tire that large is the Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier with 2" Receiver Opening # RM-195225.
This is also compatible for use with the Roadmaster tow dollies as well if you are looking to use one of those dollies and carry a large... view full answer...
What determines if a cargo carrier will fold is the distance from the center hitch pin hole to the nearest point on the carrier when the rack is folded up compared to the distance from the center hitch pin hole to the furthest point of the spare tire. This distance depends on the size of the shank that is inserted into the receiver for each product. We determine this distance on most of the products we sell and it is listed in the "Product Specifications" section of the item's detailed... view full answer...

If you can lighten your bikes down to 75 lbs total then the Thule Spare Me 2 Bike Rack item # TH963PRO will work. This is our highest capacity spare tire bike rack. It will work with all current vehicles with factory rear-mounted spare tires. It fits tires up to 12.5" wide x 33" in diameter. The carrier will not fit vehicles with spare-tire-mounted backup cameras.
If you have a vehicle with a spare tire camera, like a Jeep, you can use the Hollywood Racks SR1 2-Bike Carrier item # HRSR1.... view full answer...
As you can see in the photo, the bolt holes of the # 63056 and the # TR-1 and # UF15-954730 will not match up.
Although you could drill additional holes in the tire mount that would match up with those of the pintle mount, the two pieces really are not meant to work together.
Another concern I have is that the Ultra-Fab and Stromberg Carlson spare tire tire carriers are meant to be used for trailer tires which are typically smaller and lighter than wheels/tires used on a car, truck or... view full answer...
