not too much. i have a lexus gx470 and the tailgate does not open completely.

I have a FJ Cruiser which has the same type tailgate. The door opens enough to reach for stuff and put in a big bag. I don't think I have ever thought that a bigger opening would be better.

Just checked it. It opens about 15" on my Rav 2010 without any bikes. I clears the spare tire by about a foot.

Not sure with a tire on. I no longer have the vehicle or the hitch or I would install the hitch hand measure the distance between the back window and where the hitch comes up vertically . Sorry

I have the factory tire carrier with a 33 mud terrain and the clearance is not an issue when shutting the tailgate against the hitch.

If the spare tire sticks out past the bumper towards the rear it will probably limit you to carrying only one bike.

Depends on how big the spare tire is. Here are the dimensions for the rack: Length:47-1/4"Width:36-1/2"Height:5"Inside Length:45-1/4"Inside Width:30-1/4"Inside Height:5"

The only measurement specified for that is 8" from the front of the tire track to the front crossbar. The rear mount is free, and can be adjusted as necessary to fit your application. It could be as close as 1".

Hi, Karen - Amazon sent me this question but I'm not sure why since I have a Toyota RAV4. I had to take the wheel cover off the spare tire to fit it on but one thing I can testify to is that it's very sturdy and I like that a lot. I use extra straps and bungie cords to be super sure the rack and my bike are secure and I don't know if that applies to you but I can definitely recommend it.

The bike rack mounts in the trailer hitch receiver which are universal in size. We mounted the rack on a 07 Ford Escape. The only issue is possibly with clearance if the spare tire is externally mounted on the tailgate, although correctable with an extension. To be direct if you have a trailer hitch on the vehicle, it should fit.

If the door opens outward, like a traditional door, the rack will get in the way. The center bars do not move. I have a Rav4 wih a rear tire carrier and i can get my door open about a foot before it hits the rack.

The extension from the hitch is just enough space for one bike. A spare tire would eliminate the inside position.

If the carrier doesn't provide enough clearance between the forward bike and the spare tire you could always install a hitch extension bar. Any good trailer hitch store or trailer hitch web site should have them. On one end of the extension bar is a male end that fits into the female recepticle of your hitch. On the other end ( the extended end ) is a female recepticle that accepts the bike carrier. You would probably need to implement some anti-rattle clamps to reduce or eliminate looseness of the assembly. I wouldn't recommend using the extension bar on anything but a lightweight load like a bike carrier.

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.

The distance from the center of the hitch pin to the inside of the rail along which your motorcycle tire sits is just a bit under 17". So I doubt it will be in the way, unless you have a wide spare tire, and a wide bike

I have a rack as well. as long as it not past the back of your tire, i think it would be fine. good luck

Rev. Mike - My bike rack (a three bike model) is mounted to a Pro Series trailer hitch for the RAV4. See http://www.proseriestowing.com/content/products.aspx?lvl=3&parentid;=1000&catID;=1035∂=51157. The distance from the pin securing the bike rack to the Upright bar is 12 3/4". The upright bar clearance to the tire cover is 3 1/2". It all works well and is a great bike rack. Jack L.

I did see a youtube video where the Thule 916XT T2 does allow you to pivot the rack down to open the tail gate, with bikes mounted. You will pay for that feature though, dearly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQB4lUtpAAg

Yes there is room for a spare tire. Just take out the flat tire kit and put it in one of the compartments in the trunk. It will be nice to have both options. I love my soul.
