Questions & Answers
This is exactly what I did. I've had the tire mounted about 4 feet off the ground without any problems. Tires and rims are heavy, but with four decent-sized screws holding the bracket to the wall and the size of the mounting bolts (roughly the size of a lug bolt), I don't anticipate any issues.
This mount is designed to be mounted on the wall or side rail of a trailer, not an automobile; you could probably drill some holes in your door panel and try it on your Honda, but it is not recommended.
It's not a good idea to attach it to the outside of a trailer. This item is intended for use inside a trailer or structure that is enclosed.
It's made out of stamped steel.

It's well worth the effort, and the bracket is exactly what I had hoped for. The bolts and screws, on the other hand, have some design flaws. The screws are flimsy and need to be replaced. I used screws that were more powerful. br>br>There is a problem with the carriage bolts and the bracket. The square at the bolts' heads is longer than the thickness of the bracket. The bolt to the bracket cannot be tightened because of this. I got around this by putting a washer between the bolt head and the bracket that was large enough to fit the square through. This worked perfectly and solved the problem of tightening the bracket bolt.
These are fantastic brackets. They're quite substantial. All you have to do now is upgrade to a thicker screw. On each end of each bracket, I drilled holes and used four screws. Each bracket comes with a total of eight screws. They are my favorite. They let me store the tires in the back of the truck, out of the way. The cheapest and most straightforward option available.
It was a much more durable and cost-effective option than other mounts or simply dumping the spare on the floor.
This is the one to get. It's aluminum, so it's strong and won't rust. I have mine mounted with the tire sitting on the fender, so it's not supporting the tire's weight, but it does secure it to the wall. Instead of using the supplied screws, drill holes and mount it with 1/4 inch bolts.
Rather than using a lug hole, I decided to use a 4" piece of steel to secure the tire through the axle hole, which was heavier duty than I expected. Like it. Excellent quality. Good value for money.
My truck, like the majority (all? ), is a four-wheel-drive vehicle. These days, the spare tire is kept under the bed, in the back. The steel wire that lowers the tire is too short to remove it from the tire carrier with just two hands; In the rain, snow, or mud, it's impossible to do so. The spare tire was able to be moved to the truck's bed wall, up against the cab, with the help of this inexpensive device. Even when the weather and daylight aren't cooperating, this is the ideal location for the tire.
Holds a big trailer tire just fine, but you might want to double nut or use a lock washer on the tire because the nylon nut backed off a little on my last trip. If you have anything valuable under the tire (like a car), it might be a good idea to tie it to your wall with a strap.
Bolts of 4 and 6 inches in length are mentioned in the description. Only two 6" bolts were included in my package. Because the treads do not go all the way up the bolt, the nut and lock washer do not touch the bracket when threaded on, and the tiny screws they sent only protrude 1/4" past the bracket (there were only three of these tiny screws in the package). I read the reviews before purchasing, and I'm not sure why I didn't receive the same excellent product as everyone else.
