there is an extender that you can find for this. it also raises the unit by a few inches.

From hitch pin hole on car hitch to rack arms you have 15 inches. In addition, bike nearest rear of car is mounted between rack arms and car. No it is not feasible.

Mine is on a Subaru Outback and there is room to open the back without using the "lowering" feature of the transporter (which, by the way, is a pain to use if the transporter has any sort of load in it). My guess is "probably" if everything stock. It will depend on a) the size (width) of your spare and how far it protrudes past the bumper and b) how your hitch is mounted and how far it protrudes (even with the bumper, recessed).

Fully extended it is 17 inches. May work depending how much your suspension drops with the weight off.

I have no idea. The vehicle my hitch is installed on is a 2004 Highlander, and has P225/70R16 tires. The spare can be removed easily.

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

If the carrier doesn't provide enough clearance between the forward bike and the spare tire you could always install a hitch extension bar. Any good trailer hitch store or trailer hitch web site should have them. On one end of the extension bar is a male end that fits into the female recepticle of your hitch. On the other end ( the extended end ) is a female recepticle that accepts the bike carrier. You would probably need to implement some anti-rattle clamps to reduce or eliminate looseness of the assembly. I wouldn't recommend using the extension bar on anything but a lightweight load like a bike carrier.

No the 2 pads ride on the tire side wall and space rack away from rim. It probably will not work w rims larger than 18".

I used a hitch vise plate from harbor freight because I have a 2 inch receiver and the adapter was loose IMHO. But I measured from the old 1 1/4 hitch that Highland uses and from the hole where the pin goes in crosswise to hold the hitch in the receiver to the plate is 14 inches. So if you measure from the receiver hole to the back of the spare tire you need at least 14 inches or an adapter. You can always get a hitch extender to add length.

I can't say for sure because I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee and do not have an exterior tire, but here are some measurements. The vertical pole of the rack (on my Jeep) is 8 1/2 inches from the end of the hitch, 7 3/4 inches from the bumper and 10 1/2 inches from the hatch door. I hope this helps.

Not sure how far out the spare tire extends, but the vertical post of the bike rack is 9.5 inches out from the end of the hitch.

If you have the correct trailer hitch it should. My hitch has a 2"X2" opening which this carrier will slide into and be secured with a pin. Nice rig. I have a spare tire rig on the back of my 2000 Chevy Blazer that it clears. Very easy to install and remove.

Its only 18" wide, and it sits lower than your box rails. You would have to have hitch installed first to be sure tho.

Can't answer the frame question, but my hitch is adjustable from 8" down to 8" up in 2" increments.

It fits a 2x2 hitch, but extends the hitch out 6 inches. I have a spare tire on the back of my rig, and this works perfect to extend my bike rack to clear my spare tire. The bigger section of the picture is the length of extension (6 inches).

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.

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.

I have a 2" hitch and it works great. I really like this rack. It is better than I was expecting, a lot better.
