It is built from extra heavy-duty welded steel and finished with a hot-dip galvanized coating that stands up to road spray, launch ramps, and saltwater exposure. The mount uses an adjustable bolt circle that fits most standard patterns, so it accommodates both 4-lug and 5-lug wheels up to 15 inches. A 5-1\/4 inch offset with a dip rise design lifts the spare for additional boat and ground clearance, keeping it out of the way during towing and launching. The carrier attaches to trailer tongues up to 3 inches wide by 4 inches high, covering a wide range of boat trailers. Carriage bolts and lug nuts are included, so no separate hardware purchase is needed to mount the spare wheel once the carrier is installed. The design is protected under US Patent #6,116,483. This carrier is the galvanized finish option; the same mount is also offered in zinc-plated and black powder coat finishes under different part numbers. It carries a 1 year limited warranty from Tie Down Engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tie Down Engineering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 86098\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Galvanized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carbon steel, welded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e U-Bolt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-lug and 5-lug wheels up to 15 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBolt Circle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adjustable, fits most standard patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOffset:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrailer Tongue Fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 3 inches wide by 4 inches high\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.5 x 6 x 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.36 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 081628860986\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePatent:\u003c\/strong\u003e US Patent #6,116,483\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Components:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carriage bolts and lug nuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 year limited\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat wheel sizes does the Tie Down 86098 spare tire carrier fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Tie Down Engineering 86098 side mount carrier has an adjustable bolt circle that fits 4-lug and 5-lug wheels up to 15 inches, covering most standard trailer wheel patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size trailer tongue does this carrier mount to?\u003c\/strong\u003e Part 86098 fits trailer tongues up to 3 inches wide by 4 inches high.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 86098 carrier galvanized?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, part number 86098 is the hot-dip galvanized finish version of this side mount spare tire carrier, offering corrosion resistance for marine and trailer use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre other finishes available for this carrier?\u003c\/strong\u003e The same side mount design is also offered in zinc-plated and black powder coat finishes, each under its own part number; 86098 is specifically the galvanized version.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the offset and clearance design of this mount?\u003c\/strong\u003e This carrier has a 5-1\/4 inch offset with a dip rise design that adds boat and ground clearance for the mounted spare wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the Tie Down 86098 made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is constructed from extra heavy-duty welded steel, then hot-dip galvanized for corrosion protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the carrier include mounting hardware?\u003c\/strong\u003e Carriage bolts and lug nuts are included with part 86098, so no additional hardware is needed to install a spare wheel on the mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions and weight of this spare tire carrier?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 86098 side mount carrier measures 13.5 x 6 x 6 inches and weighs 6.36 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat warranty comes with the Tie Down 86098?\u003c\/strong\u003e Tie Down Engineering backs the 86098 spare tire carrier with a 1 year limited warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this carrier patented?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the adjustable bolt circle design of the 86098 side mount carrier is protected under US Patent #6,116,483.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tie Down Engineering","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991693701339,"sku":"T-D-86098","price":40.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/86098__41158.1722495491.500.750.jpg?v=1785189033","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/tie-down-86098-galvanized-side-mount-spare-tire-carrier-adjustable-4-5-lug-boat-trailer-mount","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
