Expert Answers about Spare Tire Bike Racks


  • Spare Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2002 Honda CR-V with Offset Spare
  • We have one spare tire mounted bike rack that fits offset spares at the back of a vehicle like your 2002 Honda CR-V. For that we have the Thule Spare Me part # TH963PRO which would work well. I wouldn't recommend a spare mounted bike rack for a vehicle that wasn't capable of an offset on a vehicle with an offset spare.

  • Can Spare Tire Bike Rack be Used on a 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser with Spare Tire Backup Camera
  • The phrase "without spare tire mounted backup camera" means that if the 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser has a spare tire backup camera the rack will not fit. Models that do not have a camera mounted at the spare will not have a problem. Since your FJ does have the spare tire mounted backup camera none of the spare tire bike racks will fit but there is another way to carry bikes at the back of the vehicle. You can install a trailer hitch such as # 75461 and use a hitch mounted bike rack. The Thule...

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2007 Toyota RAV4 with Rear Mounted Spare Tire
  • While there are spare tire mount bike racks that will fit your 2007 Toyota RAV4 the Malone RunWay # MPG2148 will not due to the spare tire cover. You would have to take off the whole spare tire cover so all that is left is the spare tire and then you could mount this rack. What I recommend is a rack that mounts using the same location as the spare tire such as the SpareRide # Y02599. However, the available racks that do fit, like the SpareRide, hold 2 bikes maximum. To carry 3 bikes I...

  • Easy to Remove Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2008 Toyota RAV4 With Rear Spare Tire
  • The bike rack that I recommend for you and your 2008 Toyota RAV4 is the Yakima SpareRide 2 Bike Rack, # Y02599. This is a spare tire mount bike rack that is lightweight and easy to mount and remove. It also does not interfere with access to the rear cargo area. The most difficult part of this bike rack is the initial installation. This bike rack uses a mounting plate that installs behind the spare tire.

  • Spare Tire Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2007 Toyota RAV4.

  • Recommendation for a Spare Tire Bike Rack on a 2009 Toyota Rav4
  • The spare tire bike rack that I would recommend for your 2009 Toyota Rav4 is the Thule Spare Me 2 Bike Carrier - Spare Tire Mount, item # TH963PRO. This rack is designed to fit your vehicle as long as the original spare tire is in place or, if a larger spare has been added, the measurement from the back of the wheel, where it sets against the spare tire mount, is 5-1/4 inches or less. The old TH963 rack will not work on the 2009 Rav4 but the newer # TH963PRO is newly designed to work on...

  • SportRack Spare Tire Mount Bike Rack Will Not Clear Oversized Spare Tire on 2011 Jeep Wrangler
  • The Saris "B" plate for their spare tire mount bike racks is not a confirmed fit for the SportRack bike rack. Your best option to carry bikes on your 2011 Jeep Wrangler is to use a trailer hitch and a bike rack that will extend out far enough to clear the spare tire. If your Jeep does not already have a hitch I recommend etrailer hitch # e98856 because with it the receiver sticks out further than other hitches making it more likely for bike racks to clear the spare tire. Once the hitch...

  • Spare Tire Mounted Bike Rack # HRSR1 For 2000 Honda CR-V
  • We do offer bike racks that work for your 2000 Honda CR-V. These racks mount to the spare tire, and would be the least expensive choice when choosing a bike carrier. I have attached a link to our product page for spare tire mounted bike racks for your 2000 Honda CR-V. I would recommend the Hollywood Racks SR1 2-Bike Carrier, part # HRSR1. Since your photo shows the spare tire is off center, this rack may be a good choice. You can adjust the arm support bar so that the bike is mounted...

  • There are no spare tire bike racks rated for an RV or camper spare tire. However, if your Aliner's bumper is rated for towing and/or carrying weight, we offer several bike rack options that are rated for use behind a camper. Take a look at the Swagman Around the Spare Mighty Rack, # S80501. This rack is designed to fit a 4 to 4-1/2 inch continuous welded square bumper and fit around the spare tire. I have included a link to the installation details and a video review for reference. Another...

  • We do have spare tire bike racks that are compatible with your 2004 Honda CR-V, however, according to Hollywod Racks, the SR2 Spare Tire Bike Rack, # HRSR2, will not fit your CR-V. Instead, I recommend looking at either the Thule Spare Me 2 Bike Rack, # TH963PRO. This bike rack have been confirmed to fit your CR-V and it can be adjusted to center the bikes with your vehicle since you have an offset spare tire.

  • Recommended Spare Tire Mount And Bike Rack Compatible With RV Use
  • We don't have a bike rack and spare tire mount for a travel trailer that is one unit. We do have some combinations of products that will work for you.

  • Recommended Spare Tire Bike Rack or Hitch Mounted Bike Rack with Vertical Mounting
  • There is not a bike rack that will fit a spare tire that loads the bike vertically as you stated without an adapter. The Softride Hang 2 # SR27041 is the closest to what I think you are looking for, but you would need to add an extension like # C45795 for that application. I recommend using a cable lock like # e98891 to secure your bikes. I've attached measurements to assist as well as a video. You may alternatively be interested in the Thule Spare Me 2 Bike Rack - Spare Tire Mount...

  • Spare Tire Bike Rack for a 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser
  • Unfortunately FJ Cruisers with backup cameras can't have spare tire bike racks installed because of how the backup camera is mounted on the vehicle inside the spare tire cover. There is not a plate available to make a spare mounted rack work on one equipped with a backup camera. You can however install a trailer hitch like the the Draw-Tite Class 3, part # 75461 and carry a trailer hitch mounted bike rack. Because of your standard spare tire, you'll need at least 9 inches from the hitch...

  • Spare Tire and Bike Carrying Options for 2001 Layton 190EL Travel Trailer
  • As a first step, I'd recommend contacting the trailer manufacturer to ensure the rear bumper is capable of carrying the weight of a spare tire, bike rack and bikes. A 4 inch square bumper is pretty common. If that's what you have, I'd recommend the Stromberg Carlson bumper mounted spare tire carrier, part # TR-1. For a bike rack, the presence of the spare tire will interfere with the majority of bike rack options, but we do have one option that would work for you. Swagman offers their...

  • Recommended Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier Compatible With Bike Rack
  • There is one spare tire mount made for an application like this. It is the Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier w/ 2" Receiver Opening - 2" Hitches # RM-195225. This will give you a spare tire holder that can swing down for easier removal and will give you a 2 inch receiver for a bike rack. I recommend using a lock like # e98892 to secure your spare and a hitch lock like # BD580402 to secure your accessory. For a bike rack, I recommend the Swagman Dispatch 2 Bike Platform Rack...

  • Spare Tire Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2014 Jeep Wrangler with Wide Tires

This carrier also has dual folding arms, fits tires up to 15-inches wide, holds up to 75 lbs and is made of black powder-coated steel tubing. Email me back with the distance from the center of your hitch pin out to the furthest point out on your spare tire and I will find...
