Does anybody know of a hitch mount bike carrier that fits jeeps with 35x12.5 for the spare? I purchased the bell Walmart edition and that didn't come close to having enough clearance. Any help or pics would be great. I don't want to add anymore weight to the spare, hence the hitch mount. Thanks!

 

I know a lot of people with campers use something like this to get beyond a spare tire...

I use that extension when I have larger items in my cargo basket. Works great.

Haven't tried it with a tall, top-heavy bike rack though. Might add a little more sway?

 

That looks great. Thanks a bunch

 

I use the same extender , shim it to fill the gaps helps the sway issue.

 

I have Thule's hitch mount rack. Here's an old pic when I had stock carrier w/ 33's. Could almost fold it up, but hit the spare needing another 2 inches or so to close. I used a 8" extension for awhile, but it put the rack way too far out on a 'limb' for me. I can't put the rack in the upright position, but the bikes on the rack clear my current 35's no problem. The thule rack is awesome though.

 

No pics but check out the SARIS brand that's what I use with my 35x12.5" tires.... Light and a great product

 

X2 on the Thule rack. The drop extension allows me to fully open the rear gate with rack on.

 

So this Thule rack requires no extension? It just works as is?

 

1up USA. Best rack by far.
