Questions & Answers

What are the dimensions of it?

(Inside width) L = 9", w = 3"

A five-hole 15-inch rim with four holes is what I have. Will this work if there are 5 lug nut holes in the middle?

Yes, with a hole spacing of 4 1/2 inches, you should be fine. Depending on how far the rim is offset, you may have to attach the spare to the trailer with the front facing in.

Is it going to work with a six-lug wheel?

I had to bend mine out a little (by hand), but it fit my six-lug wheel perfectly.

What size wrench should I use to loosen the nuts?

To install the nuts, you'll need a 3/4" wrench.

Selected User Reviews For Shoreline Marine U-Bolt Spare Tire

Works for four people
5/5

12 (with a little help). A spare tire carrier for the narrow 4 is nearly impossible to come by. 80- On a PWC trailer, a 12 tire with a 3" x 1" rim is mounted. Most people would toss the small spare in the P/U bed or car trunk, so it's a 5" frame. The U- The bolts are far too long, and the threads are too short to tighten properly. After months of searching, I discovered the ideal match - a large 18-foot Amazon sells the 1701 Rubber Coil Spring Booster. To cradle the U-shape, it's exactly 3" wide. The bolt fits perfectly, and there's enough offset to get the threads close enough to the wheel to tighten it. Just a few inches of the U-shape were sawn off. It's a perfect fit thanks to the bolts.

If you're having trouble understanding how this works like I was, here's the solution
5/5

If you're having trouble understanding how this works like I was, here's the solution. Not only are the ends of the U bolt threaded, but the small hole in the angle bracket is threaded as well to screw onto the U bolt. br>Product works great for keeping not-so-smart crooks from stealing your tire; the smart ones will just steal whatever they want with a battery operated saw. (There's a tire, a trailer, a boat, a truck, and my wife. ).

This is a very nice tire carrier
5/5

For my small 5x8 trailer, I purchased two of these. I replaced the tire and wheels with new ones and kept the old ones as spares. Attaching and locking the wheels to the trailer was simple with this kit. Because I didn't have much tongue room, I mounted these in front of the rear wheel wells on the trailer's side. Setup is simple: twist it until it reaches the desired tightness, then secure it with the lock. A spare key is included in the package. I now have four keys since I purchased them. oh well. If you're towing a trailer, make sure you have a spare tire.

Stainless is of high quality
4/5

Bracket is well-made and sturdy. Unfortunately, it did not fit the strange hole pattern on my boat trailer's tire bracket. I couldn't use it because of this. However, it appears to be in good condition in my garage's spare parts box!.

This fits the 2" boat frame, but there aren't enough threads to secure an 8" boat tire because the bracket is thicker where it's threaded, so threads can't be added as the next area of the clamp shrinks in size
3/5

I made a bracket out of 7/16" threaded stock and used the lug nuts that came with this bracket to secure the tire to the boat frame.

For a small trailer, this spare tire mount is ideal
5/5

For a small trailer, this works perfectly. I did shorten the threader ends because, depending on how you mount it, they stick out a few inches and prevent you from using a standard lug wrench. It's simple to cut with a hacksaw and smooth out the ends with a file.

The technical specifications are as follows: The bottom of the "U" (where it attaches to a trailer) is three feet long
5/5

3 inches] 1/16 However, the inside radius is a little broad at about 3/8 as measured, so'sharp' radius rect/sq tubing may not like it. 3/8 rod is used, but the threads are FORMED, resulting in a 7/16-inch step up in size. 18 [nut] (confirmed) The "U's" legs bend outward for about 3 inches before straightening out again for about 4 inches. 1/2 inch from the "U's" INSIDE bottom. It takes about 8 minutes to walk from the INSIDE bottom of the "U" to the end of the legs. Threading on the ends is about 3 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. With a 5 lug wheel, you'll have to fiddle with the legs because they're on exact 4 inch centers. Fortunately, this is not the 1/2-inch rod that Fulton sells, and it bends easily. br>The lock is a "Wafer" style lock (which I worked on at the USPS in Engineering) that is easily defeated. The 'Key' [inserted] spins a bolt down, causing the LOCK SHAFT shaft to engage a blind hole in the brass and literally tighten up against an O-ring. ONLY the Lock Cylinder is retained by this ring. Pulling the cylinder out, especially without the Key in place, will cause the Wafers to 'fly off into never never land. ' The lock is indexed every 90 degrees, so I wouldn't even try to tighten it on the O-ring. It's not a good idea to wear out the O-ring. Ring the bells louder. The lock components are mostly brass, but the Lock Shaft has been "hardened(? ) steel" that could rust into place, so graphite would be a good idea to start with. br>Clearly, this is a lock. spin- A DETERRENT on locking brackets!.

This is a worthwhile investment
4/5

It is very simple to set up. It won't stop a determined thief, but it gets the job done, according to one reviewer. I was able to mount a spare on my boat's trailer. The price is unbeatable.
