CE Smith Spare Tire Carrier - CE27310G
- Frame Mount
- 4-Bolt
- 5-Bolt
- Trailer
- U-Bolt Style
- CE Smith
- No Lift
Heavy-duty carrier lets you safely mount a spare trailer tire in a sleek way. It features an offset design that provides extra clearance and crossed U-bolts for added strength, and it resists corrosion. Holds 4-lug and 5-lug wheels up to 15".
Features:
- Heavy-duty carrier provides a mounting point for your trailer's spare tire
- Offset design ensures that the tire sits farther away from the ground and from your boat
- Crossed U-bolt design reinforces strength and increases weight capacity
- Includes 1 standard set and 1 longer set of U-bolts
- Galvanized steel carrier and zinc-plated hardware are sturdy and resists corrosion
- Zinc coated mounting hardware (included) resists corrosion
Specs:
- Application: trailer frames 1" to 3-1/2" wide x up to 4" tall
- Fits: 4-lug and 5-lug wheels, up to 15"
- Compatible with 4 on 4, 5 on 4-1/2, and 5 on 4-3/4 bolt patterns
- Not compatible with 5 on 5 or 5 on 5-1/2 bolt patterns
- Trailer mounting U-bolt dimensions (center to center):
- Width: 2"
- Height: 4-1/2"
- Wheel mounting surface:
- Width: 3"
- Height: 6-1/8"
- Bolt hole spacing (center to center): 4-1/2"
This sturdy spare tire carrier mounts to the trailer tongue in the front of the trailer. The offset design moves the tire and wheel up and away from the trailer frame to improve ground clearance. No drilling is required to install the carrier because the included U-bolts clamp the carrier to the trailer frame. The crisscross design increases the holding power of the U-bolts.
Galvanized Steel
Galvanized steel parts are hot-dipped in zinc after being stamped. This creates a coating that is typically 3 mil to 5 mil thick. This thick, all-around coating allows galvanized steel products to provide years of use without rusting or corroding.

This was perfect for mounting my small snowmobile trailer tire with a slight modification. I wanted a side mounted spare holder and there are not any that I could find for my trailer tire. I used this mount but modified it slightly using one of the hubs I replaced on my trailer to mount to this. See photos.
by: Scott 11/04/2022
Appears well built and installed easily. Good galvanized coating. As others have said you may need to cut the bolts after installing so they don’t rub the tire.
by: Dennis 08/28/2022
Well made & should last a long-long time. Fits perfect in the location I chose on front of trailer. I used a bike locking device I already had lying around to secure spare tire to trailer.

After a year the spare tire Carrier is rock solid and looks pristine since it is galvanized. Well made!
by: Kevin 11/30/2023
Spare tire mount installed quickly and feels very secure on my boat trailer frame. Spare wheel is galvanized and should hold up well over the years. Appreciate the quick delivery guys: Etrailer ROCKS!

I wanted to see if you could explain in more detail or send a picture of how the spare tire carrier is not working with your tire. Are you using it with the same tire that was in your previous order?
by: JMT07/09/2014
installed the tire carrier horizontally on my trailer, otherwise the tire hits the ground. very sturdy. a little disappointed in the weld job.

The nuts loosen up a couple times. I had to install lock nuts. Otherwise it works like a charm.

Excellent bracket holding up very well. I had an unusual mount point and it worked very well.

As soon as I received the CE Smith Offset Spare Tire Carrier I proceeded to install it on my boat trailer and it’s a perfect fit!!!! I’ve very much happy I chose y’all’s services, thank you. Colin Mason

Tire carrier works great, need to get a spare to put on the one on my second trailer.

Worked perfectly on the tongue of a v-nose cargo trailer
by: Mark G09/18/2016
It does what it is supposed to do. It holds my spare wheel and tire on my Bass boat trailer. Simple install. Just make sure you get a locking lug nut or cable lock so your spare stays safe and secure.
by: George02/26/2023
Included bolts stripped quickly and had to be replaced, neither of the u-bolt sets included fit properly and had to be reshaped to fit trailer tongue/frame. Bracket itself is sturdy and was able to be welded to the trailer. Overal decent purchase but I recommend getting stronger attaching hardware
by: David 02/15/2023
Thought I should have a spare tire/wheel for my trailer, and then needed a carrier. This worked out great where I decided to place it. I ended up welding it to an existing brace.
by: Jerry 01/08/2023
I have purchased CE Smith products in the past, a brand which I have come to like. This spare tire carrier is thick enough material making it plenty sturdy for its purpose. Its hot dipped galvanized where it will outlast anything painted or powder coated. Its very simple design allows it to be mounted in various applications. I am using it for a 12" wheel which it is more than sturdy for. Thanks again etrailer.com!

High quality spare tire carrier.
by: MN Tom06/20/2013
I need a place to mount my spare tire on my drop down trailer door and this looked like it would work and it worked great. Four 3.5" x 7/16" bolts and nuts and it was done. My experience with this etrailer and the people that work here was great.
by: Jeff H. 05/20/2013
Glad I purchased this model. All the hardware was fine, no complaints. Only way it would fit my trailer was to turn it sideways and bolt it up with carriage bolts. Drilled 4 holes and it was done. Very pleased with it.
by: James12/06/2021
This spare tire mount works and fits perfectly. Thank you Kaylyn for recommending this one when the one I ordered was out of stock. This was super easy to install (under 5 minutes), looks great and works great.
by: John G08/07/2013
I was looking for a sturdy spare tire bracket for my 5x8 utility trailer that I pull quite often out of town. This one is very stout and affixed well to my trailer. It was very easy to install and a good design.
by: Amy08/06/2022
This was the exact replacement for my kayak trailer suspension. It’s been in use for a year — so far, so good!
by: Scot P07/05/2016
Excellent service. Easy to use website filled with every conceivable product for one-stop shop at reasonable price and it came to my home. quickly. Looks great on the trailer.
by: Bobby07/14/2018
Had a blowout on Sunday coming home from lake and had to leave my boat at friends house! That is not happening again! So I ordered this mount and a spare wheel and tire. Fits perfect and installation took 5 minutes!

So good I ordered another..

- Can CE Smith Offset Spare Trailer Tire Carrier Mount Vertically on 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" Trailer Frame?The CE Smith Offset Spare Trailer Tire Carrier # CE27310G can be mounted on trailer frames which are 1" to 3-1/2" wide x up to 4" tall, so it will work for your 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" frame tube. Additionally, it can be mounted vertically so long as the panels on your trailer are pliable enough that they allow the carrier's U-bolots to fit around the tubes you referenced.

- How to Determine Overall Size of Inflated Trailer TireA trailer tire of size ST195/75-15 when mounted and fully inflated will have a width of just under 7-3/4-inches. It will have an overall diameter of approximately 26-1/2-inches. The linked article will show how to determine these dimensions for any tire size. I also linked our range of trailer frame-mount spare tire carriers like # CE27310G.

The carrier is compatible with wheels with 4 on 4, 5 on 4-1/2, and 5 on 4-3/4 bolt patterns, but it's not compatible with 5 on 5 or 5 on 5-1/2 bolt patterns. I'll link to a video showing a typical installation. A final note, the carrier is constructed of galvanized steel, so you'll want to devise...

view full answer... - Location of Spare Tire Carrier to be Installed on Trailer FrameEssentially, you can install a spare tire carrier anywhere it will fit. I recommend placing it on the tongue as far back from the coupler as possible without interfering with anything. This will push its weight as far back as possible on the trailer. I've linked our selection of frame mounted spare tire carriers for trailer frames like the CE Smith # CE27310G. This one is for frames up to 3-1/2 by 4 inches and will fit rims that have a 4 on 4, 5 on 4-1/2, and 5 on 4-3/4 bolt pattern.
view full answer... - Spare Tire Carrier for 2" x 3" Trailer FrameThe CE Smith Offset Spare Trailer Tire Carrier # CE27310G will fit your trailer's 2" x 3" bumper just fine, though you are going to need to check your trailer's owner's manual or with the manufacturer to ensure the bumper is rated for use with clamp-on accessories. If not, this carrier also fits frames that are from 1" to 3-1/2" wide x up to 4" tall so you may have a way to mount it on your frame.
view full answer... - Would CE Smith Offset Spare Mount part # CE27310G Fit a CE Smith Offset Spare Mount part # CE27310GI pulled up some pictures of your trailer and the frame on it looks pretty standard in size.

I attached a review video for this product for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Is Hardware for CE Smith Spare Tire Carrier Galvanized or Zinc PlatedI checked with CE Smith on the spare tire carrier # CE27310G. The mount itself is galvanized but all other parts (the hardware) is zinc plated. I checked all of the spare tire carriers we offer, see link, and all similar models also use zinc plated hardware and all others except this CE Smith carrier also use zinc plating on the main mount.
view full answer... - Could CE Smith Spare Tire Carrier CE27202 Be Used Horizontally On Trailer Tongue?The CE Smith Spare Tire Carrier - Locking - Steel - 4-Lug and 5-Lug Wheels - 8-3/4" # CE27202 will fit horizontally as long as your tongue is not more than 3" tall, but I do not recommend it as it will have half of the tire sticking below the frame which could cause it to scrape on the ground. Instead I recommend the CE Smith Offset Spare Trailer Tire Carrier - Galvanized Steel - 4- and 5-Lug Wheels # CE27310G which is offset so it will raise the tire further to give additional ground...

- Spare Tire Carrier for 2019 Aluma 6818 ESW Utility TrailerI don't offer anything specifically designed for your situation, with the low sidewalls (more of a lip, really) on your Aluma 6810. You could use something such as the CE Smith # CE27310G but you'd need to devise your own way to mount it to the trailer sidewall, probably by through-bolting it. It's very possible that the sidewall is stout enough to handle this, but without knowing what the interior structure of that sidewall is I'd recommend you play it safe by making sure you either tied...
view full answer... - Does the Size of the Center Bore Matter When Selecting 5 Lug Spare Wheel/Tire for TrailerThe center bore is more or less irreverent when using lug piloted wheels which are most common on trailers. The center bore simply needs to fit over the hub which is rarely an issue. I have attached a list of all our wheel/tires that use a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. I would be glad to make a recommendation if you can provide the tire size. If you don't already have a spare tire carrier, take a look at the CE Smith Offset Spare Tire Carrier part # CE27310G.
view full answer... - Stock Trailer Spare Tire Carrier Recommendation for Horse TrailerThe most common spare tire carrier we recommend for horse trailers is the part # 413200. This carrier can get welded on to your trailer basically wherever you need it to be. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.

- Recommended Spare Tire Carrier For 4-Horse TrailerWe have a couple different style spare tire carriers. The most common for a horse trailer is the Weld-on Spare Tire carrier, part # 413200. Since this is welded on for installation it can be installed any place you wish as long as you have the room. I have attached a product review video you can check out. Another style carrier we offer is a frame mount carrier like part # CE27310G. This will work with 4, and 5 lug wheels. It will not work with a 5 on 5 or 5 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern however....
view full answer... - Spare Tire Carrier Recommendation for Carrying a Tire Horizontally on a Trailer. We do not carry any spare tire mounts that were designed to mount the tire horizontally, but we have a few mounts that you could make work. For example, you could use the CE Smith Offset Spare Tire Carrier, # CE27310G, and use a 2 inch block to take up the additional width in the u-bolts. This would give the u-bolts a snug fit around the width and height of the frame and allow you to mount the tire horizontally. You could also use a carrier like the Fulton F2 Heavy-Duty Spare Tire Carrier,...
view full answer... - Choosing Spare Tire Carrier for Drift Boat TrailerThe first step would be to determine the exact bolt pattern of the wheel. If you click the provided link, you'll be taken to an FAQ article that shows exactly how to do this. Once you determine the bolt pattern, you can compare that information with the specifications for the tire carriers you were interested in. The CE Smith # CE27310G fits 4 and 5 lug wheels, except for a 5 on 5 or a 5 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern. It fits trailer frame members from 1 to 3-1/2 inches thick to 4 inches tall. I...
view full answer... - Offset Spare Tire Mount for 6-Lug, 15 Inch WheelWe do have an offset spare tire carrier that will work for you, though the one you asked about is only for wheels with 4 or 5 lugs, so it won't be a fit for yours. Instead, the spare tire carrier that will work with your 6-lug, 15 inch wheel is the Fulton Hi-Mount Spare Tire Carrier # FHDSTC0101. This carrier has 7 inches of offset and gives you 4-3/4 inches of lift; it will fit trailer frames up to 3 inches wide x 5 inches high. The Hi-Mount simply clamps onto your trailer frame and...

- Can C E Smith Trailer Spare Tire Mount # CE27310G Be Mounted Upside-DownThe CE Smith Trailer Spare Tire Mount could indeed be mounted in an upside-down orientation if you wish to do so. Keep in mind that this spare tire carrier is only compatible with 4 lug wheels or 5 lug wheels with a 4-1/2 inch bolt circle. Most of the spare tire carriers can be mounted upside down, with the exception of the Fulton Hi Mount # FHDSTC0101. If you would care to tell me the diameter and bolt pattern of your wheel, I can provide some recommendations that are more specific.
view full answer... - Spare Tire Carrier for Trailer that Has Angle Iron Trailer FrameThe Fulton Economy Spare Tire Carrier with Wheel Nut Lock # FETCSTL0701 would work just fine on a section of angle iron that is 2 inches by 2 inches. The frame does not have to completely fill out the U-bolt to allow the carrier to install.

All good. Minor surface rust on the threads that hold the tire, but the test is fine. I live near the beach where you quickly learn if a part has a good galvanized coating or not.
