Will 16 Inch Spare Tire Fit with B&W Hitch Installed on a 2003 Ford F-250
Question:
I received the above hitch with the 1/2 inch bolts provided. Since I am replacing the factory hitch with the above the holes are drilled in the frame. But the holes in the frame are 9/16 so the 1/2 inch bolts will be too loose. Does the manufacturer offer spacers for the frame holes or should I drill out the brackets provided and use the factory bolts? I have a 2003 Ford F-250 Super Duty

Expert Reply:
A lot of newer trucks can have wheels larger than 16 inches. But since your spare is a 16 inch it will fit in the factory location on your 2003 Ford F-250 with B&W trailer hitch # BWHDRH25230 installed. I have included a link to the installation details for you. I have also linked a video showing an example installation.
