I have a spare tire attached to my trailer bumper, does this extend far enough away from trailer so not to interfere with the spare tire?

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.

No I don't believe it is far enough away. If you wanted to put only 2 or 3 bikes on it you would probably be ok. Hope this helps.

If it is a normal trailer bumper then it will not interfere. I use the spare tire as an extra point to tie the bikes off to keep them on the rack.

I have a 2006 Jeep Liberty 4x4 with the rear spare tire (235/65-17), and a Hidden Hitch, frame mounted receiver and this bike ball mount rack works perfectly behind the spare. It bolts directly to the trailer ball mount which is removable. I don't think it will work with a bumper mounted trailer ball and a rear spare.

Sorry, I really cannot answer, too many thing can effect the area between the rack and the tire/back of the vehicle

Yes, will not fit with a 19" spare tire. I tried to install it and it is not possible.

The 2" receiver tube extends about a 1/4 inch through the bracket. With that said, I have a full size spare tire and there's about a 3" space between tire and tube. Hope that helps.

Hi Johhny, this box takes up the alcove space between the back of the rear fender and the area just inside the tailgate. I am guessing you have a fifth wheel plug in that general area, if so it will impede the trailer plug

Your question would better be directed at either:1)The professionals at Draw-Tite. (extension use already cuts vehicle's tow capacity by 50%)Can only assume you indicating flat four towing? Not your vehicle aboard a trailer behind your RV type of towing?2)Your RV owners manual? And/Or the manufacturer of the hitch that is on your RV Lastly probably never ask the "professionals" here on Amazon.

Hello,The bumper has two sets of holes. I use the one so it sits closer to my bumper approx 3 inches away. It also has a hole that allows it to sit and inch or so further away from the bumper. Hope this helps.

The bolts that fasten the tire carrier to the trailer bumper are squared off u bolts made to fit the bumper, they fit and work great with no problems.... DWS

I think that is my tire size and it was a loose fit. It worked ok for me as the spare is in my trailer's tack room. But, let me double check my tires tomorrow and verify. I will get back with you.

Yeah you won't have to mess with the receiver but you will need to get a hitch extension because the bumper sticks out about a 1" further than the receiver, also if you plan on adding the swing arm spare tire carrier you will need to get at least a 8" extension....

I didn't use the rack mounted to the hitch ball hole on the bumper as it was designed. It would probably cause a problem with the shell though. I mounted mine to a piece of receiver that I slid into the receiver and that way I could move it away from any obstacles. Its a great rack and like it because of the lock. Good luck!!

Good question. I can only give you first hand experience; don't do it! I had two bikes on this rack behind my trailer. I lost one bike and the basket of the other. Apparently, there is a lot more movement behind a towed vehicle for this design.

Yes it should fit fine behind your spare tire. The plate has spots for different lug patterns.

Provided that there is enough of the hitch exposed. That looks like it varies by design. Our setup measures 32" from the very front tip of the hitch to the very back of the pieces that bolt to the frame. Those little upright pieces in the pic clamp around the box tubing of the trailer frame, and stay attached when you unhitch. You will need room to put on and remove the nuts from the threaded ends, in addition to that 32".

I'm not sure what you're asking either. We have a Subaru Outback and we had it installed on the under side of the car but I don't think it is attached to the spare tire pan. I don't know that that would be strong enough.
