Does anyone know of a spare tire carrier that will handle the 6 lug rims on my Prestige trailer. Prestige will sell me one for $60.00 but that is rediculas. The ones offered at the watersports\boat catalogs say they will handle 4-5 lug rims but mention nothing about 6 lug. I was hoping someone could tell me if one of the less expensive ones would work.

These people have one too, but it is more expensive than the OEM part...

The one from Tie down looks like it would work, just cant find the price or how to order without setting up an account.
Thanks for the finding them for me.

Consider doing this. It's out of the way and looks better. I had a cable and lock on the rim and tire because I went camping for four days and left the trailer where I couldn't see it. I need to take it off!
wake_fun,
Do you have a link? I'd kinda like to see that.

GT40 check your inbox and see if it worked.........
Thanks wake_fun, it worked great. Is that a bracket that you bought somewhere & bolted to the trailer or did you have fabricated?
I have a spare tire bracket from Prestige for my trailer. The bracket only matches 3 of the holes in the tire. So I only have it being held on with 3 lugs. Seems to hold it just fine though.

GT40,
I took my trailer to DHM trailers and had them do it. It's about $300 or so but it is worth it to me. It's out of the way and keeps the trailer looking nice.
