Is there enough room between the back of the vehicle and the rack for the spare tire of a Jeep Wrangler JK?

Negative, as far as I can tell. Perhaps if you put an extender on the hitch it will work.

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.

Yes, It does. it runs perfect ! I mounted it to my 2013 Jeep Wrangler unlimited Sahara factory installed class-II 2" hitch, without any extension

That would be tough. It will depend on how far out the receiver hangs from under the bumper. Go to the Thule website and use the fit guide.

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.

It fits in my 2009 Wrangler with the spare tire. The spot on the inside of the rack on the tire side is a little tight, but you can definitely use it and fit a bike on the inside spit, just takes a little maneuvering. We use it on the Jeep with our 5 bikes all the time. The only issue is that you can't open the tailgate more than a few inches, even when the rack is lowered......but otherwise it is fine.

Yes, I place the same on my curt extended roof rack mounted on my Jeep Cherokee. Might be tight without the extension but ok with. The curt with the expansion option looks great and lots of room for my 32 mudder tire spare and gas cans.

The space between the two sides can be adjusted. It will handle tires up to 2.5 inches. I'm using it with a 29er and 2inch tires. Works great.

I can't imagine why it would not fit. The tire racks themselves, are adjustable so it can accommodate a variety of sizes. The only thing we found is, if carrying two bikes, we need to turn the pedals of the bikes opposite each other.

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.

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

I don't have a rav 4, but I have a jeep wrangler with a spare mounted outside like the rav 4. The rack fits and clears the spare tire, but I can't open the rear door all the way. My tailgate swings out an I must remove the bikes and rack to completely open the door.

Yes there is a space for the spare tire. Its under the styrofoam insert in the back of the car. You will have to remove the styrofoam insert as well as the silly little bottle of fix a flat too. I put my spare tire in and kept the silly little fix a flat bottle in the upper styrofoam insert. Its a good investment as the fix a flat bottle will only get you out of a jam if you have a punctured tire. I strongly suggest buying the spare !!!

I drive a jeep wrangler and it extends out a good 6 inches past my tire on the back. I just have all terrains.

If the tire doesn't protrude much past the bumper and is not too wide you may be able to make it work. My spare is set on the left side which forced me to mount my two halves rather close together but I have been able to carry two bikes or a waste water tote depending on the need. I don't know if that helps or not. I hope so.

I don't think so, when it folds up, it is pretty close to the vehicle....really don't think it would be secure outside of the spare tire range.

Tire width is not an issue. The rack is adjustable for height and on the highest setting will be just over 15.5" from the center of the axle to the bottom of the rack. Hope this helps

Yes I believe so. My father (a skinny man) had plenty of room in the seat area. I (a heavy set woman) also had ample seat room when I sat down in it. You will not be disappointed with this quality product...just let it air outside or in the garage for a few days because it does smell a bit, it's probably the raw new tire smell.

I no longer possess this item. But if I had to guess I would say no. I had a full size rear cargo rack over my back tire and the packs bottom covered the whole thing and the water bottle holder kind of stuck out if I recall. Hope this helps.

The spare tire should fit in the recessed section of your trunk space, if you don't have the flap cover that hids the recessed portion then this won't really work for you as this cover latches on to it and is amorphous otherwise.
