The carrier itself doesn't make noise or wiggle, but I can not account for every receiver being different... We try to make the hitch pin as snug and "play"-less as possible.

I'm sure i could make something to suit the smaller hitch... But it may cost more being custom and all.

That is a 33x12.5x15 on stock 5.25 backspacing, i can adjust the mount per your backspacing and size rim.

How much offset? too much would make this design weaker and out of balance.

The new design is in fact welded, just no one has bought a welded one to have pictures from. Would you like to be the first?

I'm not sure, I've been through too many wheels so they all kinda blend together lol. I'd have to check before actually purchasing a carrier from you but I'm fairly certain my current wheels have 3.75" backspacing. The reason I ask about having the tire offset is because it helps a lot with visibility through the rear windshield.

After having this one for about 6 months, I found that its best in center. If its off to one side sure its easier to see on that side but the other side is barely any. Center you don't lose much at all, just the bottom center of the window.

Is it possible to include a D ring somewhere in the design? So I can still use the hitch as a recovery point?
