A support device (1) for a spare wheel (2) of a commercial vehicle, of the type provided with a support (9) adapted to carry the wheel (2) in a releasable manner, connecting means (7) connecting the support (9) to a frame (3) of the vehicle so as to be movable between a rest position and a removal position, and defining a handling path of the support (9) arising from a combination of movements in a first direction and a second direction (S,T) which are mutually transverse; releasable fastening means (10) for fastening the support (9) to the frame (3) in the rest position and for clamping the wheel (2) substantially in the first direction (S) between the support (9) and the frame (3) themselves, and with a lever (60) adapted to be movably connected to the frame (3) and comprising, in turn, an actuating arm (62) which is so formed that it can be engaged by a rim (4) of the wheel (2) during the displacement of the support (9) towards the rest position so as to receive from the rim (4) actuating forces in the first direction (S), and a pressing arm (63) which can be actuated as a result of the rotation of the actuating arm (62) so as to press the wheel (2) in the second direction (T) into abutment with abutment means (35) provided on the frame (3). <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
