Note: This bike carrier is not intended for use on spare tires mounted on trailers.
Tired of your vehicle's rear-mounted spare tire preventing you from using most trunk- and hitch-mounted bicycle carriers? No more worries. The SR1 bike rack mounts to your spare and lets you transport up to two bikes on the back of your vehicle.
SR1 Installation
This easy-to-use rack fits spare tires up to 12 inches wide and with any bolt pattern. Simply loosen the adjustment bolts to widen the mounting brace to fit your spare, place the brace over the spare, and tighten the bolts until the rack is snug. Then wrap the side strap under the bottom of the tire and the two front straps around the back of the tire to minimize side-to-side and front-to-back movement of the rack.
Pivoting Arms
Dual, pivoting arms support your bikes and better accommodate women's, children's and alternative frames. (An adapter bar [HRBA-PRO - sold separately] may still be required.) The spring-loaded arms can be folded in when you're not using the rack.
Adjustable Support Bar for Offset Spares
If you have an offset spare tire, the support bar on which the arms are mounted can be installed 4-1/2" to the left or 4-1/2" to the right side of the rack base. This centers your bikes on your vehicle, keeping them from hanging out to the side.
Soft Cradles
Soft rubber cradles with straps firmly grip your bike's frame. The cradles rotate and slide along the arms, so you can easily adjust them based on the type and number of bikes you're transporting. And you can use the integrated safety strap to help keep your bikes tied down.
A cable lock (sold separately) are recommended to deter theft of the rack and your bikes.

Today, well be reviewing the Hollywood Racks SR1 two-bike carrier, which has a spare tire mount, part number HRSR1. Some of the main features of this bike rack, one, its very simple to install for a spare mount. Its super secured, its not going anywhere. We really like how you can adjust placement of your bike, depending on where your mount is located on your rear hatch. The cradles here are very secure cradles. Theyre not going to scratch your bike.
Theyre adjustable. You can flip them. You dont have to use the bike it at the bars as often, depending on your bike, as some other bike racks will haul in a womans bike or a girls bike or a childs bike. IT has a weight capacity of 75 pounds. The distance between the arms from the outside the outside cradle is about 14 inches.
It will fit most door-mounted spare tires up to 12 inches wide. The SR1 comes with a limited lifetime warranty. Our SR1 comes pre-assembled and its set to fit standard tire mount. As you can see with the vehicle well be working on today, our tire mount is not centered on our vehicle. It actually favors the passenger side.
What were going to do is were going to show you how to adjust your SR1 to accommodate this type of mounting point on your vehicle when it comes to your spare tire. If you already installed the SR1 as is, then your bikes could be hanging off the passengers side of the vehicle. It would not be suitable for safe travel. Were going to show you right now how to adjust it to accommodate your spare tire mount. We would have to readjust it right here to accommodate where our spare tire is mounted.
Well take our SR1, place it on to our spare tire mount. We want to make sure that we center it up. We can center it by placing a U-bracket at the center of our mount and then we also want to make sure that our brackets on the sides here are touching the tires. When we have it in place, we can use a 9/15th socket or wrench to tighten these, just snug them down. Within the instructions, youll read that it says, Do not over tighten. Just keep in mind that we want to get these snugged and not too tight. To lift our SR1 and are both tight here to help keep it in place and make our mounts snug, were going to take our strap over here, our side strap, bring it around the under-side of our tire, making sure it stays centered as well as we can, and then were going to loop it into our side bracket right here. Well go ahead and snug it down a little bit and then well come back after we get all the straps in place and make sure that each one is tight. Now, well move to our back strap. What well need to do is we need to take our back strap, drop them through behind those tire mount and just set them in place. Now, well make our way around and make sure that each of our straps is tight. We just want to double-check our bolt, make sure theyre snug. Then were going to go ahead and just secure the extra straps that we have so we dont have all of it flapping around during travel. You can buy some straps to do this. For todays demonstration, well be using the rubber bands that came in the box. In preparation to load our bike, well need swing out our arms here. We push up on this spring-loaded bolt, and fit those on the slots there. Take our first bike and place it onto our carrier. As stated in the instructions with our first bike, we need to make sure that our handle bars are on the passenger side of the vehicle. Once we have it in place, were going to take our strap, bring them over our frame and lock them into place. Well grab our second bike and place it under our carrier. That carrier is built to accommodate different style of bikes so that a bike bar isnt needed as often. In this case, we are going to show you this one and with this given bike, part number, HRBA-PRO. Just bring our straps around, set them into place. Once we have our bikes loaded, we can take the strap here and its meant to leave through the frames of our bike to help hold them in place so they dont bounce around and hit each other. You can leave it however you like. Then, once you have it sat the way you like, you just fit it back to the buckle and tighten it down. Another thing that we found on the instructions, and its a really good point, is that with our bikes loaded, we want to make sure its not making close contact with our exhaust because their tires, depending on what tires you have, and most tires are, very heat sensitive. Heres our exhaust and the instructions that states that we need to make sure that our tires are at least 12 inches away from our exhaust system. In this case, they are. Its not an issue, but we did just want to point that out for your convenience. With everything all loaded up, were going to show you how it looks going down the road. That completes todays review of our spare tire mount, the Hollywood Rack SR1 two-bike carrier, part number, HRSR1.

Pair your door-mounted spare tire with the SR1 to transport 1 or 2 bikes. Sturdy rack adjusts to center bikes on vehicles with offset spares. The mounting brace clamps around tires up to 12" wide, and 3 straps secure rack to tire.
I purchased to use with a JL Wrangler. Because of back-up camera there are few options for a tire mount carrier. A pain to put on and take off the spare tire as you have to back-out the spare tire nuts and pull the tire away from the brake light and then tighten the spare tire nuts. Once I developed my installation routine, takes me about 20-25 minutes to install, a lot less to take off. Once installed, works fine. 713386
This bike rack is one of the best I've ever owned! I would definitely recommend 299650
Very easy to install. Only took about 20 minutes. Great product. Looks good on my Jeep. It’s the only one I could find that will work with a 2019 or newer Wrangler with a rear view camera. 614817
Great products. Well made and fully assembled. Good communication and products arrived very quickly. Appreciated all the information on the website. It gave me the confidence that it would fit my vehicle. I mounted the bike rack on a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL with back up camera with no issue. There is a tight clearance between the spare tire, and 3rd brake light but I was able to install it with the tire cover in tact. Going forward will probably put small spacers on the back of the tire mount for an extra fraction of inch clearance. Also, the adapter was needed to level out the women bike on the rack. 714358
Installed it this morning and the product seems fine. It hugs the wheel nice and solid and seems sturdy enough to last until the straps give out. I am taking a star off for the lack of effective instructions. This isn’t a crippling complaint as the rack mount is fairly easy to figure out, but it would have made it easier if a step by step diagram was included. As to specific issues, there are 4 sets of straps included, but only one is shown in the completed picture. You’re left to your own devices to work out what the others are for. My other complaint concerns the folding arms that hold the bikes. If order to place the arms into the notch (working position), you have to push a spring loaded bolt up from below. This is not intuitive. The arms look like you should be able to turn them so they climb over the ridge and snap into place. Unfortunately, they don’t work that way and I bent one of the arms before figuring that out. Would have been nice if that was in the instructions, but it’s not. 706850
The product is good it could be wider to fit the new 18 inch wheels. 496051
Well built, easy installation, delivered promptly. 229497
Steve C - 10/07/2016I received my bike rack in very fast time only took a few days I was pleasantly surprised! The product its self is very nice well made and looks and works great! Only negative comment I have is instructions and pics when it came to the tie down straps weren't very easy to understand.I fumbled through it still not sure if I have it the way its supposed to be but seems fine. I also had to drill other holes to get rack centered on my 1995 tracker because factory spare isn't centered just offset a little which by using holes in rack from factory wouldn't work! Other then that very happy with it! 189210
Seems great! Strong & secure. etrailer sent the item in no time! Set up was fairly easy for me, although there were moments I could have used an extra set of helping hands. Nevertheless I did it myself. I'm excited to have the freedom to ride my bike on trails that I would normally not be able to access! 665347
Mike L - 07/03/2019Needed bike rack for my 82 Jeep CJ7. Had it mounted in 15 minutes. Fits great and is secured tightly to the spare tire. Appears to be very sturdy construction. Haven't tried it out yet, but have no doubt it is just what I was looking for. 227159
I love this rack! I bought it to transport my son's bike to College and it worked great. It only took about 10 minutes to mount on the back tire and was easy to secure the bike. I drove over 500 miles and hardly knew the bike was back there. I really liked the ability to still use the back door without having to remove the bike or rack! I also have to compliment the customer service from eTrailer...fantastic! 193573
As an owner of a Toyota FJ Cruiser(w/a backup camera) I've been looking for a spare tire Bike rack for my Mt. Bike. This rack worked very well, it fit over the tire(265/70 r17)nicely & all the straps fit correctly & securly. There was no movement of the rack or the bike on the dirt roads I was travelling. I did need to add a cross bar(see above review) to keep the down U off the tire rim & because I have a full suspension bike it was positioned weird. Bottom line, very nice rack kept everything secure. Quite pleased & great price also!! 521860
Rachael H - 06/15/2018When I purchased this rack it specifically said it would fit on a FJ Cruiser factory equipment tire. The rack does accommodate the width but not the height (P265/70R17) so the (U) section of the rack is not long enough to come in contact with the lower part of the tire. This makes the rack unexceptional the carry bikes on the tire do to the lack of support! The rack itself is well constructed and would be excellent on a smaller tire. I modified this rack so it would contact the tire in two places, this works great and just returned from a 4,000 mile trip and could not be happier. Easy to put on, rock solid ride, though my bike frames are small tube and I used a small piece of split garden hose to take the slop out of the rubber frame cradles. 429716
David H - 09/07/2018I used to have a trailer hitch bike rack on a Toyota RAV4. It worked well but was difficult and messy to swing out of the way to open the door and put groceries in the back. The Toyota died and I got a similar Honda CRV. I knew the downside of the trailer hitch so I got a roof rack bike mount. It looked awesome but was VERY difficult to get bikes on after a long ride and in the wind on non-level ground. I had to carry a step stool with me. I still scraped up the side of my car. The final disaster was I forgot the bike was still on top and backed into my covered car port. DOH! So I looked into tire rack mounts. Both Honda and Toyota mount the spare tire off-center. Some of the brands cannot adjust for this and your bike sticks out a couple of feet on the passenger side. Some brands must be mounted to the spare tire itself and cannot have a tire cover. The SR1 rack below has held up great the last year. It was a fraction of the price of the big name bike carriers. I leave it on 24/7/365 and take it through the car wash with no issues. I live in the sunny SW and it has survived the sun and heat. It has not slipped at all when put over the vinyl tire cover. The only issue is you do need to supply a short bungee cord to keep the arms retracted when folded back and not in use. 450331
The unit arrived on schedule and as advertised. Installation instructions were easy to read and to follow. Have already hauled the bikes on it. Very pleased both with the product and your service. 58858
Spare tire carriers on trailers usually have a lesser load rating that spare tire carriers on vehicles. The Hollywood racks spare tire carrier should only be used on vehicle mounted spares. We do have a number of bike carriers that are approved for RV/Trailer use, including some around-the-spare racks. I've added a link to all of these racks.
-- Patrick B - 6/10/2014First impressions - mounted on a 2014 Toyota FJ with 285/70-17 tires. Pros- -Very compact, when folded. -With one 29 lbs MTB, it seems very sturdy and stable when properly mounted. -Allows for use of my backup camera. Even with my one bike mounted, the camera works pretty well. Of course, your mileage may vary depending on your bike(s), Cons - - Quite a bit heavier than I thought it would be. - Took longer to mount correctly on the FJ than I anticipated. Subsequent mounts and removals should go smoother. Instructions were pretty much worthless. I thought it was going to be a no brainer, but.... The concept was easy to grasp, but the implementation a little less so. - While there are loooong straps hanging all over the place, I’d plan on having some nice Velcro straps to conveniently secure things. - It handled the width of my 285/70-17 tires, however it does not fit perfectly for taller tires on 17” wheels. The lower “U” frame section, that should rest at the bottom of the tire and provide stability, is too short. Therefore, it is free to move around. Besides the stability issue, this lower portion of the rack may bang against the rim. Can’t be good for those nice rims. Fortunately, this should be an easy fix. At the very least, pad the bottom portion of the frame to spare the wheel. As a temporary fix, I used a section of foam pipe insulation (photo attached). I plan to attach a lower cross bar, with a couple of U-clamps, that will span to the tire (concept photo attached). The $64k question for me is, why doesn’t Hollywood Racks offer a longer version of this rack for taller tires. In the absence of that, they could supply a simple cross bar adaptor. Considering my limited experience with this rack, I have given it 4 stars. I would have given it 5 stars, but I don’t think the system is complete without a packaged solution to the tire issue. Shouldn’t expect the customer to MacGyver solutions to finish off a product. 699696
The rack is sturdy and solid, works as advertised. Workmanship is adequate, though the attachment to the wheel is a bit DIY in appearance. Installation is OK, need to get used to routing and securing the three attachment straps and check while in use to ensure they have not loosened. This is the only rack I found that permits use on an off-center spare wheel like my Honda CR-V 1990s era 660687
Mike L - 06/21/2019excellent product. worked as exactly described. we're now green to go on all our biking excursions in the Colorado mountains. thank you 629805
Works as advertised. No complaints 610706
This bike rack was easy to install right out of the box. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. 606413
Thank you and fast shipping appreciated 573299
Just finished installing this rack. Took about an hour and would have taken much longer had it not been for my very mechanically-inclined boyfriend! One suggestion I would make to the manufacturer is to leave the straps off and just include strap placement instructions in the manual. 525618

Went on easily after I broke down and got my 9/16 socket vs pliers. It was a little tricky getting my wife's beach bike on. Once that was figured out both bikes were solidly secured, ready to roll!! 512484
Great follow-up from etrailer. They called to verify the mailing address before shipping. I have had lots of problems with vendors sending items to the wrong address. Address verification was appreciated. etrailer also tracked the order to make sure it was delivered correctly. Very impressed with the product. Worked as advertised. Good company to work with. 503145
