Spare Tire Carrier 8 Lug Wheel for Jeep JK /JKU Motobilt

Motobilt introduces the Jeep JK and JKU 2007-2017 spare tire carrier for 8 x 6.5 inch wheel bolt pattern. With many people now swapping in 1 ton axles into their Jeep we now offer this version of the tire carrier to use the popular 8 x 6.5 inch bolt pattern.. This heavy duty tire carrier is a must have if you are running larger tires on your Jeep. The stock setup is not equipped to handle the extra weight of a larger tire and wheel setup.

The new JK tire carrier was designed using cutting edge computer modeling software. We laser cut, cnc form, and hand weld each unit to ensure it is perfect.
