I checked with the Yakima and Thule Fit Guides. You can use the Thule Spare Me, part # TH963PRO, and the Yakima SpareTime, part # Y02598.

Both of these have a 2 bike capacity and will mount to with the factory CRV spare tire. They both have anti-sway cradles to keep the bikes from banging into each other or the vehicle, I do like the Thule cradles a bit better, but the design of the SpareTime is really good looking and allows you to off-set the carrier head from the spare attachment to tuck the bikes closer to center with vehicles like the CRV that have the spare to one side. The Thule Rack will also allow you to center the bikes on the rear of the vehicle.

Either would work well and neither of them are a bad rack by any means. I have added links to both of them below so you can take a look and see what features you want. We also have a video reviews of the racks.
