PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a spare tire carrier installation structure capable of effectively preventing theft of a spare tire in spite of a simple structure. SOLUTION: A spare tire carrier 1 has a carrier body 2 supporting the spare tire ST from below to sandwich the spare tire ST between the carrier body 2 and a body panel; subframes 21, 22; journaling parts 4A, 4B fixed to a lower part of a vehicle with a fixing bolt 42, swingably journaling the carrier body 2 such that the carrier body 2 can be displaced between a fixed state for sandwiching the spare tire ST and an open state allowing takeout of the spare tire ST; and a lock part 6 provided to the lower part of the vehicle, detachably supporting the swinging end of the carrier body 2. When the carrier body 2 is in the fixed state, a portion of the carrier body 2 is disposed in the unfastening direction of the fixing bolt 42 in the journaling part 4 not to unfasten the fixing bolt 42. Accordingly, the theft is prevented.
