Don't buy this *************!!! I took one for the team, the bolts aren't long enough to go through the spare lug holes. Our tires are too big and wide.

I bought that one and it dangles when installed and will rattle against the inside of the rim. I requested a return to Amazon and the vendor refunded and responed that it was designed for steel wheels and it will indeed rattle around.

I ended up with this one. It is two sleeves that fit over spring and cable. It's not easy to get on and off but here in Arizona spare tire thefts from pickups is a real issue.

I saw someone on camera using an impact gun with a chuck on it, put it on the crimped end of the cable and twisted it off, tire falls and drags it away. Got 32 wheels from a dealer lot.
