Mounting DRW spare tire on front hitch
Short of custom fabrication, does anybody know of a commercially available tire carrier that will mount a dually spare tire on the front hitch? I've looked at several but none allow for the large back...

Mount it with the dish facing out , like the outer rear wheel . The other side is almost flush with the tire .
On the carrier I bought (the Reese 6715) the dish on the wheel is so deep that it can't even reach the mounting flange on the carrier if I try to mount the spare so that the tire is closer to the front of the truck. If I turn the tire around so that the flange on the wheel is against the flange on the carrier, the tire sticks out a really long ways in front of the truck. Too far to be safe.
