The Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter, 2" or 6" Drop/Rise # RM-077-6 will be able to hold your spare tire as long as you are not exceeding the tongue weight capacity of the adapter or your trailer hitch. The Roadmaster adapter has a maximum tongue weight of 400 lbs. So, as long as you are not over 400 lbs of tongue weight the adapter won't have any problems.
