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 to enable use with tires 10-inches and larger. I have linked a video

This spare tire carrier can be used with the Fulton Cable Lock # FCLK150100 to secure your spare tire.
