Sunluway Spare Tire Mount for Trailer — High-Mount Nickel-Plated Steel Bracket, Fits 4/5/6-Lug & 4.5/4.75/5" Bolt Patterns

The Sunluway 3001.0064 spare tire mount is a heavy-duty, nickel-plated steel high-mount bracket that secures 4.5", 4.75" and 5" bolt-pattern trailer tires without drilling.

Built to keep a spare off the ground and out of the way, this compact trailer-mounted carrier clamps directly to trailer frames up to 3" wide by 4" tall and accepts 4-, 5- and 6-lug wheels. Its triangular, angled design positions the tire high and tight to the frame, preserving cargo space and preventing contact with V-hull boat overhangs. The bracket ships with mounting hardware and installs with common hand tools.

How does this bracket fit different wheel and trailer types?

The Sunluway carrier supports common small trailer bolt patterns — 4.5", 4.75" and 5" — and works with wheels that use 4, 5 or 6 lugs. It clamps to most rectangular trailer frames up to 3" wide by 4" tall; taller frames can be adapted using aftermarket U-bolts. Double-check lug count and bolt pattern before ordering to ensure compatibility.

• Fits 4-, 5-, and 6-lug wheels with 4.5", 4.75", and 5" bolt patterns
• Mounts to trailer frames up to 3" wide x 4" tall
• Taller frames can use separate U-bolts (not included)
• Holds small-to-medium spares commonly used on boat and utility trailers

What materials and load can I expect from the Sunluway mount?

This spare tire carrier is formed from heavy-gauge steel and finished with a nickel plating that resists rust and corrosion in wet environments. The triangular support geometry increases rigidity so the spare remains secure while towing. The bracket is engineered for light trailer spares and common trailering use.

• Nickel-plated steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Triangular support shape for added strength and less flex
• Lightweight product weight (~0.333 lb) for low added mass
• Designed for everyday trailer conditions (avoid exceeding rated tyre/load limits)

How easy is installation and what hardware is included?

Installation requires no drilling or welding: the bracket clamps directly to the trailer frame using the supplied hardware and a couple of wrenches. Mounting and removal are straightforward, so you can reposition the carrier or remove it when not needed. Instructions and basic fasteners are included; plan for a second set of hands if positioning a mounted tire.

• Direct-to-frame clamp design — no cutting or drilling required
• Includes one spare tire mount bracket and installation hardware
• Fastened with standard wrenches; quick to reposition or remove
• For heavier frames or different profiles, add U-bolts or adapters as needed

Will the high-mount design affect my trailer cargo or boat hull?

The angled high position keeps the spare tucked close to the frame so it frees space on the trailer bed and reduces interference with cargo. On boat trailers the upward angle specifically avoids contact with V-hull overhangs that extend past the frame. This layout helps maintain safe loading while keeping the spare accessible.

• Angled high-mount keeps spare clear of trailer bed and cargo
• Reduces chance of contact with V-hull boats that overhang the frame
• Keeps towing profile compact while preserving access to the spare
• Good option for trailers with limited space near the tongue or frame

Who is this for: The Sunluway 3001.0064 spare tire mount is ideal for boaters, utility trailer owners and DIYers who need a compact, corrosion-resistant carrier for common small trailer wheels. Choose this bracket when you want a no-drill installation, a high-mounted position to save cargo space, and a durable nickel-plated steel assembly that stays put during routine towing. Verify your wheel’s bolt pattern and trailer frame dimensions before purchase to ensure a proper fit.
