What is the clearance from hitch hole to vertical bar? I would have to accommodate spare tire...

If you get a pin to fit the smaller hole (the one farthest out) you MIGHT be able to fit a small spare. If not I would get one of those bike racks that clamps to the spare. I tried to measure and the space seemed too small for a large spare tire. My tires are about 9" wide..add the tire rack..it'll probably be too short.

Roughly 11 inches. Sold as is it will not clear a full size SUV spare, but in the documentation I think I saw that there is an extender you buy from the company that should do the job.

It contour the bumper with about a 1.5 inch reveal between receiver and bumper. The bumper tapers down from back to front so it will have a gap between hitch and bumper but it looks okay. Seems to be plenty of clearance from the ground.

There are two holes on my rack, one hole is 6" from the vertical and the second is 9" from the vertical. This rack is older and has the Reese name on it, so the distance may be different on the Swagman.

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.

The bracket is a universal mount and should fit your bars - the basket requires about 9 inches of clearance below the handlebars to clear the tire.

I can tell you that the clearance from the exit of the hitch to the vertical bar of the rack is 10.5".

Hi Donna. From the center of the hole in your hitch where the pin goes through to the back of the upright vertical bar that holds the arms is 7 3/4". You'll have to measure your hitch from the center of the pin hole out 7 3/4" and see if that clears your tire. Hope this helps.

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

I agree with the not realy answer. But it mounts next to the ball on the hitch so the bar length should not be an issue. Unless I am thinking incorrectly.

I have 17" tires & the spare does rest against the hitch framing, so I can't say how a 19" would fit.

Sorry I don't know. But when I tow the hitch should be as level as possible.

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.

The top brackets let you extend 7" and I have the bottom brackets at 13". The bottom brackets allow you to mount it anywhere on the frame so you won't have a height clearance problem no matter what the size of your tire is. This is a true adjustable rack.

I know it's extremely frustrating that they can't give you a simple measurement like this. From the very top to the very bottom is 14 1/2 inches. I have mine set to the highest holes and I have a 4 and a half-inch lift, with 35 inch tires, And my trailer is just a tad bit too low, But it works with my distribution bars. Hope that helps

I use an extension with mine, my cx-9 doesnt have a spare tire, however, with that extension I can open the door with the bike in the rack, the distance between the rack and the entrance of the hitch is 9", with that information, just check which is the distance extra that you need and find the right extension, just be aware that using an extension lowers the weight limit by a half, I mean, for example, if the rack has 100 lb of weight limit, with an extension the new limit will be 50 lb, I hope that this answer helps

I attached to a Santa Fe Sport. Drop the spare tire and you will see the bolt holes. It is the same hitch that the Dealer will charge you 500+ to put in. Start to finish was about 1hr.

The length of the vertical bar is 14.5 inches. The 8.75 is the distance from the top of the bar to the typical hitch head. Using an old Reese head the top of the head is aprox 7.5 inches down with one more hole down available. On my truck this gave me about 18 inches to the top of the ball
