Will SportRack 3 Bike Spare Tire Mount Rack fit a 2008 Jeep Wrangler With Factory 32 Inch Tire

Expert Reply:

With the SportRack Spare Tire Mount part # A30813STL, the tire diameter is not as much of a concern as the thickness. The rack measures 4-1/4 inches from the mounting plate to the back of the upright bar. Measure your spare tire to see if 4-1/4 inches is enough to clear the depth of the tire from where the rack plate would mount. If this rack will not clear the spare tire, we offer the Yakima SpareTime, part # Y02598. The SpareTime is designed for tires from P195 (7.7 inches) to P318 (12.5 inches) but will only accommodate 2 bikes.

If neither of these options will work for you, you can still do a hitch mounted setup using a hitch like Hidden Hitch part # 87424 and a rack like Swagman part # S64910.

In case you decide to go that route, I will provide links to the hitch install instructions, as well as a link to an installation video that you might find helpful.
