I was able to fit three mountian bikes in the back of my JKU without removing the tires. I put the soft top and rear seats down and put the bikes in through the top, so the front tire was sitting on the rear roll cage

Driving may be difficult/damaging in that configuration.

Personally I would leave all 4 tires on the Jeep.

Its a Mopar / Thule part. You can get it from your stealership, I got mine with the Jeep. It has a bracket that goes through the center cap of the spare tire and mounts there. It will not work with anything larger than the Rubi MT tire because of how the bracket folds.
