A trailer spare tire mount must match both the wheel and the trailer frame. Dutton-Lainson offers a simple extended U-bolt style for smaller rims, a raised side-offset bracket for medium wheel sizes, and an extra-offset carrier for larger 5- or 6-hole trailer rims. These are different mounting assemblies, not merely different finishes of the same product.

Pick the mounting layout first

22128 — simple long U-boltThe 6220 holder accepts the manufacturer's specified 8-, 9- or 12-inch, 4- or 5-hole rims. Its extended U-bolt reaches around a wider tongue; mounting nuts are included.
22120 — raised and side-offsetThe 6121 bracket accommodates 9–14-inch wheels with 4- or 5-hole rims on rectangular tongues up to 3 × 5 inches. It offsets the wheel 4½ inches sideways and 4¾ inches upward.
22145 — extra-offset bracketThe 6126 carries specified 13–15-inch wheels with 5- or 6-hole rims on rectangular trailer tongues 2–3 inches wide and 3–5 inches tall. Its angled bracket helps keep the tire clear of the hull.

Dutton-Lainson spare tire carrier comparison

MPN / Model Design Nominal wheel sizes Rim holes Trailer tongue
22128 (6220) Long U-bolt tire holder 8, 9 or 12 in 4 or 5 hole rims Extra length for wider tongues; measure actual opening
22120 (6121) Raised offset spare-tire bracket 9–14 in 4 or 5 hole rims Rectangular tongues up to 3 in wide × 5 in tall
22145 (6126) Extra-offset spare-tire bracket 13–15 in 5 or 6 hole rims Rectangular tongues 2–3 in wide × 3–5 in tall
Confirm the exact wheel and tongue dimensions. Manufacturer wheel sizes refer to nominal rim diameter, not outside tire diameter. Hole count alone does not confirm wheel bolt-circle compatibility, and a rectangular-tongue specification does not mean a carrier automatically fits a round or unusually shaped trailer frame. Check clearance around the boat, coupler, winch post and ground.

All three models use a zinc-plated TUFFPLATE finish. The 22120 and 22145 are complete bracket assemblies supplied with mounting hardware and have a locking hole; the 22128 is a simpler U-bolt holder supplied with nuts, not a raised welded bracket.

Measure the trailer before ordering

  1. Measure the spare wheel: identify rim diameter, hole count and bolt circle. Confirm the mounting arrangement in the manufacturer's instructions rather than assuming any 5-hole rim fits another 5-hole carrier.
  2. Measure tongue width and height: the 22120 is intended for rectangular tongues up to 3 × 5 inches. The 22145 specifies 2–3 inches wide and 3–5 inches tall. The 22128 uses an extended U-bolt; verify its actual reach and clearances.
  3. Choose clearance and offset: evaluate how far the tire must stand away from the boat, bunks, coupler, trailer lighting and ground. The extra-offset 22145 is a different design from 22120.
  4. Check hardware included: 22128 includes mounting nuts; 22120 and 22145 include bracket mounting hardware. Any padlock or theft-deterrent cable must be selected separately where needed.
  5. Mount to a suitable structural area: follow the trailer and Dutton-Lainson installation instructions, check bolt engagement and torque, and re-inspect the bracket after travel.
