I have a hitch on my Evo and a small Ebay Trailer with 12" wheels. The hitch I have there is nothing that has to be cut to get it fit.
I will post pictures for you tomorrow or wednesday. Its made by 1 of the members here on the forum, and its very nice.
I have a rollbar in the back so I can't carry tires inside my car. Buying a truck is out of the question as well since I live in Brooklyn, there is no way in hell I could find a spot to store the trailer. Buying a truck would not be a problem, but I would rather buy a small trailer and tow it with the Evo, and buy X as a daily driver rather than big truck.
wait for my pics this thing is great .... trust me

Guys, if you're not interested in a hitch, then be quiet. Your opinions are just that.
To the rest, here is sewsmr's post with good info:

I also PM'd "rallytrack" who claims to make and sell hitches and pointed him at this thread. Hopefully he'll respond.

I'll let you guys know if I find out anything else.

damn my bad. didn't know everyone would take it so harshly...
I'm simply saying that if you're doing a lot of tracks days and such it would be easier to have another vehicle...
no i dont have a trailor, but i'm sure the evo could handle sorry.

As long as you're not trying to go really fast with the trailer, it's not a problem at all. Autocross guys pull small trailers with their corvettes, miatas, M3s, and Evos all the time. If you can do it with a miata, you can certainly do it with a big Evo.

Whatever. 
Soo, how are you going to pull the Evo behind the "beater" truck? Yup, gotta buy a trailer. Then you gotta make sure the "beater" is up to towing duty. Then you gotta find a place to store the "beater" and the trailer. Then you gotta insure all this stuff. All of a sudden you have $10-15k into this "beater" setup, and you still have to store it.
Listen, I already have my tire trailer. It works great. I used it with my porsche turbo and I'm going to use it with my Evo.
If you don't have something constructive to add to the thread, like where I can get a tow hitch, don't post.

I went to a custom welding shop here in tampa and got it done for about 250, I suggest just calling around asking who would make a custom hitch --- probably your best bet. Mine is 100% hidden when not in use... you can PM me with any questions.

Rallytrack Hitch
I bought my evo used with a RallyTrack Hitch already installed.
I haven't used it to tow anything, but You can barely see it on the car.
One pic in this thread shows the back of the car.

Yeah I'm totally against putting any type of force like that on the chassis of my Evo. In fact when buying cars I don't usually buy one if it has a trailer hitch on the back.
