Default Bike Rack recommendations ~ w/37's

Thought I'd go ahead and post as I have yet to find a bike rack that will clear my Toyo 37's...
Anyone have any insight? (FYI - I am not a welder)

Thanks in advance!

My best advice would be to find one that is a hitch mount and go from there. Go to to your local bike shop and talk with some of the employees and they should help out. I'm using the two bike Thule rack on my stock wheels and tire and will be in the market soon for a new one when I'm done with my mods.

Pull the front wheel off and stuff it in the back. It will fit

I used a hitch mount with hitch extender. I have the Thule 4 bike swingaway.. it sticks out there, but holds up just fine..

I have a Softride hitch mounted with the extension that is available. I used it on my previous JK that had 37s. It sticks out far enough to fold up.

For the hitch ones, most I looked into would require an extension, which are easy to find, but get a good one that you can tighten so it doesn't sag.

Likely not what you are looking for, but a different option would be to get a roof rack.
