I have a spare tire on my Jeep can it extend out so it could be folded up?

Yes. Mine works fine with the 31x10.5 R15LT as a spare tire, with a couple inches to spare fully folded. It is made to accommodate the spare. If you have some humongo wide tire as a spare you might have trouble, but with an ordinary unlifted jeep it will work just fine.

No -- it does not fold up. However, it is relatively compact. I drive a jeep liberty and it's easy to stow.

When folded up, this rack does NOT obscure the rear view. However, depending on the size of the spare tire, it may not fold up as designed.

The lock bar on mine is not flat so there is no way I would be able to get a spare tire cover on. Even with a flat bar(shown in the pic) I still don't think a spare tire cover would fit without concerns of tearing the cover. It works great though. My 35inch tire and AEV Wheel is tight and solid against the tailgate

Does your vehicle have a externally mounted spare tire on the back end of the vehicle?

If its not lifted it definately wont fit the tire well but as far as it fitting the tire it will fit. It will be tight tho

The spare tire carrier is made specifically for pickups so I'm thinking no it will not work in the Wrangler.

I dont think so. I have a 32" spare tire and it fits, but just barely with all the available extension pieces from Thule.

They shipped the tires to me unfolded in a huge box. There is a wire in the bead of the tire so I doubt they can be folded.

It is adjustable so should fit on any/all spare tires, so as long as there wasn't a hard cover over your tire you should be okay.

my spare is 29 inches tall. it fits it very well very tight. it is the stock tire that what came on the Jeep. if your tires much more than 29 inches you might want to go to the next larger size

yes you can. you lower the 'resistance bar' that the tire would rest on for resistance, until it is no longer touching the tire.

I don't know that you can totally. I found by stretching it pretty tight the folds were definitely less noticeable and the material is flexible enough to be able to do that. Hope this works out for you!

Yes it can be folded. Also, you can remove the back rest, and the handle bars if you wish to do so. Please note, this weighs 26lbs, so is not the easiest item to put in a truck or back seat. HTH

This does not fit Jeep Wrangler with the spare tire. Even if you sacrifice the use of the back door, spare tire is too high that you can bolt in both 3/8" x 3 to hold it up. This is great for SUVs with verticle hatchbacks but not for Jeep Wrangler type of back doors and spare tires.

I don't think so. I had it behind a conversion van and it had spare tire on driver side rear door

if like most Jeeps you have a set of larger tires you're going to need to buy the extension for this. As well as to my knowledge you're not going to be able to fully open the door with this in the downward position. In my experience it jostles around quite a bit unfortunately with that extension piece needed to clear my rear tire. However I can't seem to find anything else that works unless I want to spend the money to put the roof rack on it. So although its safe just get used to the fact its going to wiggle around a little bit when you're driving around the mountain and for the money if you need the space is not a bad investment if like most Jeeps you have a set of larger tires you're going to need to buy the extension for this.
