I have a Jeep Wrangler YJ with spare tire. The rack needs to clear about 11" (from gate to outside of tire). Will this work?

I have Nissan JUKE and needs enough room to open tail door and it does, to be sure check on the specs at the home page

Possibly. I have about 10 1/2 inches of clearance between the point my rack fits into the hitch to the area where metal would/could make contact with the car -- or 10 1/2 inches of clearance. I actually have less than that on my car because my hitch is about an inch recessed from my bumper. If yours sticks out 3 inches, it might work. Otherwise, keep shopping.

Probably not. The carrier is loose and wobbles too much, so double the possibility of impact and stress on bike and spare tire.

I measured the distance on my pt cruiser from the bumper to the bikr rack and its 11 inches.you need to factor your tire width to see if it will work. hope that helps!

I have an RX 350 with an adapter and it works fine. But as noted, it wobbles regardless if you use an extension as noted by one of the responders.

it might work as it. this is a very good product. i recommend getting it, and if it does not go past your tire, then you can get an extension for it that you can also get on amazon. i use an extension on mine. works great. good luck.

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.

If you get a pin to fit the smaller hole (the one farthest out) you MIGHT be able to fit a small spare. If not I would get one of those bike racks that clamps to the spare. I tried to measure and the space seemed too small for a large spare tire. My tires are about 9" wide..add the tire rack..it'll probably be too short.

Yes, I have this rack on my 1992 Wrangler that has 35s on it including the spare.

I had a wrangler jeep with regular tires. It fit great. I sold the jeep and bought a 18ft camper so I put my cover on the spare tire, it is a little big but tied it as tight as I could. I think it may

I don't think there is enough room between the bar and the tire but that might depend on the rack size and seat post length.

I am not exactly sure, but I would establish that the 13" will clear the space provided for the present tire and it will probably work fine if the space is there...

this worked just fine on my sons 2005 jeep liberty with the spare tire mounted on the back. hope this helped

This thing works by looping the end with the loop around the frame then passing the other end through a lug nut hole on the spare tire and attach the lock to that end. It should work on almost any vehicle. When I owned a Jeep (CJ7) I just looped it around the spare tire carrier. Hope this helps.

I have a RAV4 with an external tire and it fits just fine with room to spare. The only issue I run into is that I cannot open the rear door more than about a third of the way, even with the rack tilted down.

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.

As long as your rack is not flush with your vehicle, I think it should work. The bolts that keep the J rack in place have to be tightened from underneath.

Jeff; I am away from my home, so not able to measure. However, I'll pass along my experience in case it could help others. I have a 2004 Jeep Wrangler that I mount the cargo carrier on. It has a swing out spare tire rack. When it swings out it was hitting the tailgate side of the carrier. I ended up modifying that side by lowering it 1 3/4 inches in my case. It wasn't hard to do. Required drilling some new bolt holes, sliding down to the desirable height, rebolting about six vertical supports and cutting the excess off, and grinding them smoothe.. So, the outcome is the carrier sides are slated toward the tailgate and there was enough clearance now for the spare rack to swing out.

Yes, works good, but you still have to take off if you want to get into back of jeep, I sold mine and got one that mounted to spare tire on back

I have one of these racks and love it. I have it on my Yukon. I don't think there is enough room for a tire.

I can't say for sure because I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee and do not have an exterior tire, but here are some measurements. The vertical pole of the rack (on my Jeep) is 8 1/2 inches from the end of the hitch, 7 3/4 inches from the bumper and 10 1/2 inches from the hatch door. I hope this helps.

Yes it should work, it puts a load on the door but so does your spare so should be able to sustain the pressure. The rack has an adjustment to re- centre the bike so that it does not hang out the passenger side so much.
