The tire mounts are designed for a wheel mount surface to tire sidewall distance of 5 – 8″ (this should not be confused with backspacing, the tire sidewall will add extra width to your backspacing number.) The tire needs to be adjusted tightly against the carrier or surface once installed to help stop vibrations from fatiguing the tire mount, carrier, rack, or bumper. If your tire does not sit flat against your mounting surface when installed please contact us.

So far so good as I’ve just installed this tire carrier on my truck on 12/27/22. It’s really easy to install and seems to be heavy duty and as I continuously check for sturdiness and movement, it hasn’t disappointed me. I’ll update my review if anything changes.
