Not pretty but it does the job.
The nuts holding the tire on the receiver rack aren't the same size as the lug nuts so I needed an extra wrench in the rig to get them off and on. I had an extra 3/4 inch deep socket int the junk (Unidentified treasure) box, I welded a handle on it & it does the job just fine and takes up very little space.
Tire, hitch receiver mount

I purchased and put put a spare tire rack in the hitch receiver on my truck (Having the spare under the rig can be a problem if you need it when you're off pavement.).

Why you shouldn't throw away your beer cans:
I needed an off beat wrench so....
I cut and carved a template out of wood, used it to make a sand mold, melted an ingot of aluminum (One of many I smelted from aluminum cans and keep just for jobs such as this.), in my home built propane fired smelting furnace and cast this wrench.
Works fine!

My propane fired smelting furnace.
A crude portable setup but it's adequate to melt 4 or 5 pounds on aluminum.
I also built a small electric smelter suitable for small projects.
