solution for fitting plate behind spare tire for surco BT300 for toyota rav4 2009

I remember that it was tricky to line up the spare tire without moving the plate. I remember too thinking it would be much easier if I had another pair of hands. If not try using double sided tape to help hold the plate in place.

On my Jeep Wrangler it was not intuitive and I had to in stall it twice. Install it so the rack will ride vertically, even though th e plate position looks wrong when you do it.

I bought surco BT300 for my 1999 Honda CRV. It gets job done securely. However, the design only addresses the job part but forget the fun part, which is easy to use. For getting bikes on and off, you need to put up quite a bit of effort. Instead of quick locks, there are only long turning screws to deal with. Maybe I am at the lazy side. Unless it's absolutely necessary, I would not like to touch the rack.

The unit is very adjustable. It expands and contracts in every direction. There is no reason this will not fit a RAV4.

my spare tire is P250 70R/15. It fits perfectly. I hope that helps you out.

I don't think so. I had it behind a conversion van and it had spare tire on driver side rear door

How did you order it ;by the tire size or measurments taken over the top of the existing spare cover?

Sure! Look for "Arca-swiss" compatible plates. There are lots of options out there.

I made a mount from flat steel so I could mount it to my spare tire carrier...otherwise you have to drill a hole in your vehicle somewhere and mount it directly to the vehicle. Hope that helps

the spare will fit but you have to remove the existing storage, the tire / jack kit came with its own when I got mine

The spare is a donut. After you remove the factory foam in spare tire well it fits perfectly.

You attach it to the existing spare tire bracket. Easy to install and works great with my 33" tire.

This fit the spare in my 1997 two-door RAV 4. I no longer have the car or the tire, so I wouldn't dare to answer your question. Sorry.

I have a spare tire too. My spare tire is connected to the bumper so I was able to slide it over to the edge and then attach this bike rack. A tight fit for the bigger bikes, but I just put them on the outside positions of the bike rack and they fit perfect. We have traveled to 7 different states with this rack attached and we love it.

Without putting a spacer behind the wheel, you wont fit anything larger than 31. I've got 30s and I've got just over 1/2" space between the spare tire and bumper

You possible would if the receiver sleeve on your car does not protrude out into the are of the outer edge of the spare tire. I believe that there are receiver extenders that are available that might resolve this problem if it does not extend out. Sorry I could not be of more help. This is a very good bike carrier from my experience with using it.

Thank you for your question! It looks like your tires are a little larger than what this cover is made for. You need part number 1733 by ADCO. Here is a linkADCO 1733 Black Vinyl Spare Tire Cover C (Fits 31 1/4" Diameter Wheel)Thank youJessica with Covers Direct

Can not answer that second part with the spare tire I am sure they make extensions for the receiver.

There is a schrader valve near the tank pressure gauge. A standard auto type tire chuck will fit the filler valve.
