MAXXHAUL Spare Tire Carrier Mount for Trailer Wheels — 50214 Angled Bolt-On, Powder-Coat

MAXXHAUL 50214 spare tire carrier is a heavy-duty trailer-mounted bracket that securely holds 4-lug and 5-lug trailer wheels for utility and boat trailers.

This compact, angled spare carrier is built to fit common trailer tongues and to keep a spare wheel accessible without taking up deck space. Constructed with a corrosion-resistant powder coat finish and zinc-plated hardware, the 50214 mounts on tongues up to 3 inches wide and 5 inches high and accepts 4 on 4" and 5 on 4-1/2" bolt patterns. It is not compatible with 4 on 4-3/4" or 5 on 5" bolt patterns, so checking your wheel's lug pattern before purchase is important.

How does the MAXXHAUL 50214 attach to my trailer tongue?

The carrier clamps to square or rectangular trailer tongues up to 3" wide and 5" high using the supplied zinc-plated mounting hardware. The angled bracket design places the wheel raised and out of the way while allowing straightforward bolt-on installation with common hand tools.

• Fits trailer tongues up to 3" wide by 5" high
• Includes zinc-plated bolts and nuts for secure mounting
• Simple bolt-on installation—no welding required
• Angled mount keeps tire elevated off trailer deck

Which wheel lug patterns does this spare carrier accept?

The 50214 is designed to accept 4-lug wheels with a 4" bolt circle and 5-lug wheels with a 4-1/2" bolt circle. It will not fit wheels that use the less-common 4 on 4-3/4" or 5 on 5" bolt patterns, so confirm your wheel specification before ordering.

• Compatible: 4 on 4" bolt pattern (4-lug)
• Compatible: 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern (5-lug)
• Not compatible: 4 on 4-3/4" or 5 on 5" patterns
• Designed for standard trailer wheel sizes—verify fit prior to installation

Why is the angled, raised mount useful for boat trailers?

The raised and angled mounting position keeps the spare tire clear of water, tie-downs, and gear on boat trailers while improving clearance during loading and towing. Elevating the spare reduces contact with spray and standing water and helps prevent rubbing against boat hulls or accessories.

• Elevated placement minimizes water contact and corrosion risk
• Angled design increases clearance for loading and tie-downs
• Saves deck and rail space on smaller trailers
• Works well with angled trailer tongues and winch-post setups

How durable is the MAXXHAUL 50214 for long-term outdoor use?

This carrier uses a durable powder coat finish to resist rust and corrosion, and the included zinc-plated mounting hardware adds additional protection against the elements. While built for outdoor trailer use, periodic inspection and touch-up paint in high-wear areas will extend its service life.

• Powder coat finish for enhanced corrosion resistance
• Zinc-plated bolts and nuts to resist rust
• Steel construction suitable for regular towing conditions
• Recommended: inspect and recoat scratches to prevent surface rust

Who this is for: The MAXXHAUL 50214 spare tire carrier is made for boaters, landscapers, and trailer owners who need a compact, secure spare mounting solution that saves deck space and improves clearance. Choose this bracket if your trailer uses 4 on 4" or 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern wheels and your tongue dimensions fall within the stated limits. If you have an uncommon lug pattern or a tongue larger than 3" by 5", measure carefully or consult a dealer for an alternative carrier.
