Tie Down Engineering Spare Tire Carrier 86064 for Aluminum I-Beam Trailers, Fits 4- and 5-Lug Wheels

The Tie Down Engineering Spare Tire Carrier, part number 86064, is built specifically for aluminum I-beam trailers that need a dedicated spare tire mounting solution. Rather than clamping onto the frame, this carrier is designed to be through-bolted directly to the trailer's I-beam frame, giving the spare a solid, permanent mounting point instead of relying on a U-bolt clamp arrangement. It accommodates both 4-lug and 5-lug wheels, so it works across a range of aluminum trailer setups without needing a different carrier for each wheel pattern.

Construction is galvanized, which protects the carrier against rust and corrosion from ongoing exposure to road spray, moisture, and salt air during towing and storage. Installation is done by mounting the carrier through four 6/16 inch holes drilled into the trailer frame, giving it a fixed, secure attachment point rather than a slip-on or clamp-style fit. This makes it a good match for aluminum trailer owners who want their spare tire mounted directly to the frame rather than relying on a bumper mount, tongue mount, or U-bolt style carrier.

At 5.11 pounds, the carrier itself is lightweight enough to not add significant tongue or frame weight while still providing a durable mounting point for a spare wheel and tire. It is sold as the carrier hardware itself, designed to be paired with the trailer's existing spare wheel and tire.
