The Fulton Economy Spare Tire Carrier - Lockable # FETCLB0201 is not compatible with 6 lug wheels. It is only compatible with 4 or 5 lug wheels.

For your 6 lug wheels, I recommend the Bumper Mounted Tire Carrier - U-Bolt Mount # TR-1 or the Ultra-Fab Folding Spare Tire Carrier for Trailers and RVs - Bumper Mount # UF15-954730. Either of these will work with 6 lug wheels. With either of these, you can use the Fulton Spare Tire Carrier Lock # FSTL0603 to secure your investment.
