Question:
Will this hitch fit if I have a spare tire? I have a 2022 Acura RDX.

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C95CR will fit your 2022 Acura RDX as long as your spare tire is 18" or smaller. If you have a larger spare tire you would have to remove it or replace it with a smaller tire to be able to install the hitch. This is a Class III hitch with a 3,500 lb maximum gross trailer weight and 350 lb max tongue weight. The hitch has a 2" receiver and comes with a limited lifetime warranty.
If you plan on doing some towing you will want to add a 4-way to power your trailer's signal lights. I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118800 if you have the plus 12-volt Power Provision. If you don't have the plus 12-volt Power Provision you will need the # 119190KIT instead.
For a ball mount, check out the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900. This kit has two ball mounts, one with a 3/4" rise or 2" drop and the other with a 2-3/4" rise or 4" drop. It also comes with a 1-7/8" and 2" ball, as well as a ball mount bag to store everything in.
I have attached some review and installation videos for your reference.
