Mounting plate
rotation
Five or Six threaded studs
Use the numbers on the
mounting plate
to guide you.
5 = five hole wheel 6 = six hole wheel
Place the mounting plate
onto your spare tire holder.
Some wheel offsets may require you to use a different length
tongue than described above. If you cannot tighten the SpareTime
adequately then use a shorter tongue. If you can see the tick mark
on the tongue use a longer tongue (See Step 5).
Using different tongues
Adapter plate removal
In order to fit the range of tire and wheel widths we have included three different
tongue lengths. In order to select which length to try first please see below.
Tire Width (Look on the tire sidewall for tire size.)
P195 - P235: Use short Tongue (Pre-Installed)
P235 - P275: Use Medium Tongue
P285 - 12.5”: Use Long Tongue
If there is a tire support bracket on
your spare tire mount you will need

Pull the bottom of the adapter plate
