Trailer Spare Tire Carrier Recommendation that can Be Used on 12 inch or 13 inch Diameter Wheels
Question:
Any reason this wouldnt work for smaller 12 and 13inch wheels? Its say 14 and 15 in description.

Expert Reply:
The Erickson spare wheel mount part # EM77316 that you referenced was not designed to be used on wheels smaller than 14 inches in diameter. The cap diameter is 5 inches which is typically too large to fit smaller wheels. If you measure the diameter of the mounting flange on your wheel and it's smaller than 5 inches in diameter though it would fit and work well.
Otherwise you'd have to look into a spare carrier designed for the smaller wheel diameters like the CE Smith U-Bolt style carrier part # CE22011Z-11050-2.
