a main vertical plate made of one-quarter inch plate steel and having an upper portion with a lug pattern;
a horizontal baseplate made of one-quarter inch plate steel, oriented perpendicularly to the main vertical plate and joined thereto at a lower portion of the main vertical plate; and,
a gusset plate made of one-quarter inch plate steel positioned between the main vertical plate and the horizontal baseplate at an angle of approximately forty-five degrees and joined to both the main vertical plate and the horizontal baseplate; and,
wherein the lug pattern of the main vertical plate includes a center hub hole and ten lug holes arranged in a uni-lug pattern to permit alignment with four-lug, five-lug, eight-lug, and ten-lug vehicle wheel rims;
wherein the device is configured to be mounted to a vehicle hub using lug nuts that secure the main vertical plate directly to the vehicle in place of a removed wheel; and,
wherein the removal of the wheel and installation of the vehicle support stand device permits unobstructed access to a region surrounding the removed wheel for a purpose of maintenance or repair, and enables the removed wheel to be stored separately from the vehicle.
