Will the top bars go over a 12' thick tire?

Dara, The original spare tire on my 2014 Wrangler Sahara Unlimited is a P255/70R-18. The width of the tire depends on how you measure it but this one is just under 8 inches wide when you measure just the tread width and almost exactly 10 inches wide overall including the bulge of the sidewalls. I originally purchased the Allen 3-Bike rack (not the premium) and was disappointed to find that it didn't fit the tire at all. After calling the manufacturer and finding that the "Premier" version of the rack was intended for wider tires, I returned the one I had purchased and bought the premier. The good news for me was that the Premier fit my tire absolutely perfectly. I even have to work a bit to get in over my tire but it fits so good that I can tell when it is on correctly when it sort of snaps into place. But the bad news I am afraid, if your tire really is 12 inches wide, (big tire) either the tread width or overall width, is that this rack is not going to fit your tire. From the research I did before I bought my rack, and if you have a receiver trailer hitch, it to get one of the trailer hitch type racks and a receiver extension to get the rack out behind your tire. Hope this helps.

Not sure what size tire mine is, however, I have a 2013 Jeep and it fits perfectly. If it lists your type of vehicle, then it should fit.

It will fit any tire, but even with small tire you will have to add extra straps to secure it firmly. Don't use the one that came from factory, it's not good enough. I used a ratchet strap around the tire.

It will fit a standard spare tire. Any wider and the curve on the top won't be long enough to grab the tire.

I don't see any problem as long as the tire is not more than 12 inches wide.

Most definately will. Just put mine on. Only able to go up 1 inch tire size. Looks great

I have them on my 2012 and the bars extend 3-4 inches over each side of the luggage rack.

I think either one would work.. if you use the 12" high one it will just extend a little further above the rails. won't really matter...

Absolutely. Ours is on our bar, too, which is maybe 2 inches thick and only has a 12 inch overhang.

Sure will but there is no locking mechanism for the tire so depending on where you live you might want to take that into account. Cuz anyone can just loosen the bar and take your tire

Yes, if you are mounting a spare boat tire and you have room up front--my twelve inch worked perfectly.

I don't think it will as the rack has a metal plate on the top part that is supposed to stick to the tire wall providing extra support and balance.

No. If you are keep the same tire. If you go to a wider tire it will get close.

No. These were too big for my 13X5 tires. I will need to remove some sections but doesn't look too complicated just a pain.

It probably would. My tire is a 16. It fit over with no problem and then I still had to tighten it up

If the rim is sized properly (12" D x ?? W), the tire should be heavy duty enough to serve in any application. The tread pattern is well suited to a four wheel drive tractor. I hold doubts that even a 12 inch front wheel would be as wide as this product, though. Mine is mounted on a 60" cut MTD-PRO similiar to the other responses. The intended usage is for the rear drive wheels of turf cutters. Good luck...

Yes, make sure the gauge of the bar is thick enough if not solid and properly secured.

No, but if you get bigger tires you will need different wheels with different back spacing.

Does not fit a tire that thick. Just makes it with my 225's x 10". I also had to cushion the bars, because they actually will press on the rim.

Yes, They will fit. You may have to balance it after you get the panel on the up and flat on the lift. Just shift it a couple of inches and it will be ready to go up. The 12' length will not be a problem.
