Spare Tire Carrier Recommendation for a 1972 Scotty Trailer with a 15 in Spare

Question:

I have a spare tire for a 1972 Scotty trailer that is a 15 inch rim, 5 hole pattern with 4-1/2 inches on center. Will this work for that tire? Thanks very much. John

There are spare tire carrier options for your trailer that can accommodate your wheel and tire size, but the RoadMaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-2000-7 that you referenced is designed to be used on Roadmaster Tow Bars and can only accommodate wheel sizes up to 14 inches.

I attached a link to a page that has all of them listed, but the Fulton Hi-Mount Spare Tire Carrier # FHDSTC0101 that you referenced would be a good choice. It can fit wheels up to 16-1/2 inches in diameter and will fit your bolt pattern so it should work well. This carrier can install on trailer tongues up to 3 inches wide and 5 inches tall. I attached a review video for this product for you to check out also.
