The Thor Motorhomes have a big tire and the only hitch mounted spare tire carrier we have for it is the Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier w/ 2" Receiver Opening item # RM-195225. This carrier holds 16" to 24-1/2" spares with any bolt hole pattern and fits a 2" hitch.
I have linked a review video below so you can see all the functions of this tire carrier.

The distance from where the Bumper Mounted Spare Tire Carrier - U-Bolt Mount, item # TR-1, will mount to the top of the bumper to the top of the spare tire carrier is 13-1/8 inches. There is a metal tab on the back of the spare carrier that rests on the top of the bumper when mounted.
You will need to keep in mind that the spare tire will mount to the carrier and will stick up 1/2 of the overall diameter of the tire from the center of the tire mounting location.

If you can lighten your bikes down to 75 lbs total then the Thule Spare Me 2 Bike Rack item # TH963PRO will work. This is our highest capacity spare tire bike rack. It will work with all current vehicles with factory rear-mounted spare tires. It fits tires up to 12.5" wide x 33" in diameter. The carrier will not fit vehicles with spare-tire-mounted backup cameras.
If you have a vehicle with a spare tire camera, like a Jeep, you can use the Hollywood Racks SR1 2-Bike Carrier item # HRSR1.... view full answer...
The Dutton-Lainson Offset Trailer Spare Tire Carrier # DL22120 is indeed designed for wheel sizes of 9- to 14-inches. It is not recommended for 15-inch tires due to the reduced ground clearance from mounting this large a tire on a typical-height trailer.
We do offer the Fulton Hi-Mount Spare Tire Carrier, part # FSTC1000301, that fits trailer frames up to 3-inches wide and 4-inches high and works with 4-on-4 and 5-on-4-1/2 wheel bolt patterns. This tire carrier offers 5-1/2-inches of rise... view full answer...

According to Surco, their # BT300 spare tire mounted bike rack can handle three bikes weighing up to 35 lbs apiece for a total capacity of 105 lbs. I'm not aware of any vehicle manufacturer having a stated capacity for their spare tire holder. We've never heard of a factory installed spare tire mount on a vehicle failing because a spare tire mount bike rack was used, the rack should work just fine for you. view full answer...
You will need to measure to find out if you will have enough clearance for the Thule Double Track Bike Rack, part # TH990, to clear your spare tire. The distance from the hitch pin hole on the rack to the closest upright portion of the rack that could interfere with the spare tire is 11-1/2 inches.
You will want to measure 11-1/2 inches back from the pin hole on your hitch to see if that distance will clear your spare tire. view full answer...
The Surco Spare-Tire-Mounted Cargo Basket - 19" Long x 43" Wide # SPSJ4319 has a removable mount as you mentioned. The Replacement Back Plate for Surco Spare Tire Mounted Cargo Adapter # SPN550 is the exact same part as that which comes with the carrier and the mounting shank is 5-1/2 inches long. Most tire covers will fit over this without issue. view full answer...
The issue with the newer Jeep backup camera is the location of the camera as well as obstructed views when the rack is installed. There really isn't a great spare tire mounted option to avoid this issue, but either the Malone Hanger Spare T3 OS - Spare Tire Mount - 3 Bike Carrier - Anti-Sway Cages - Safety Reflectors # MPG2147 or the Hollywood Racks SR1 2-Bike Carrier - Spare Tire Mount # HRSR1 is the best option for view with bike rack loaded.
These bike racks do have width restrictions... view full answer...
The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the furthest part of the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125 is 16 inches, with the furthest part of the carrier that sticks out being the mounting bracket.
Keep in mind that's without a spare tire or any hardware mounted to the bracket, so a spare tire will add extra distance to the furthest point of the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125. view full answer...
The Surco Spare-Tire-Mounted Cargo Basket # SPSJ4319 includes a universal-fit mounting plate that measures 6-1/4 x 6-1/4-inches and that fits any vehicle spare tire carrier that uses one of the standard bolt patterns, either 5, 6 or 8-lug. The square tubing attached to the mounting plate measures 1-1/4 x 1-1/4-inches; this is inserted into the open end of the tubing on the basket. Please refer to the photo and video provided.

I reached out to Roadmaster, who told me the height from the center of the hitch to the top of the tire mount of the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125 is approximately 28-3/4" from the center of the hitch to the top of the tire mounting bracket.

I spoke with my contact at Curt Manufacturing about Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier, # c31006. He stated that it will hold your spare provided that the trailer hitch on the front of your vehicle is also capable of supporting the combined weight of the spare and the carrier.
He stated that basically the weight capacity of the carrier is whatever the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch is. view full answer...

Most likely yes as the RockyMounts MonoRail Bike Rack # RKY10004 has a solid amount of spare wheel/tire clearance but you'll need to take one simple measurement. Measure from the center of your hitch pin out 11 inches. If that distance is greater than distance from pin hole to outer edge of spare wheel this will easily fit and clear.
In general we have found that unless the Jeep has an off road tire that is extra wide 11 inches is easily plenty of clearance. view full answer...
As you can see in the photo, the bolt holes of the # 63056 and the # TR-1 and # UF15-954730 will not match up.
Although you could drill additional holes in the tire mount that would match up with those of the pintle mount, the two pieces really are not meant to work together.
Another concern I have is that the Ultra-Fab and Stromberg Carlson spare tire tire carriers are meant to be used for trailer tires which are typically smaller and lighter than wheels/tires used on a car, truck or... view full answer...
If you check out the attached dimensional photos of the Brophy Trailer Stake Pocket Spare Tire Carrier # SPTC you can see that the mounting plate sits about 6-1/2" away from the portion that sits in the stake pocket. You will simply need to hold your spare tire about 6-1/2" away from your stake pocket to see if there is enough clearance. There is no specific mounting direction for the carrier so you can have it where the spare tire is facing in towards your trailer bed or out towards the... view full answer...
The best way to transport bikes on your 2010 Suzuki Grand Vitara is to install a trailer hitch like Curt Class III hitch # C13001 and to then use a hitch-mount bike carrier. The advantages of using a hitch-mount rack are higher overall bike/weight capacity than any spare-tire-mounted rack, the ability to use the hitch for other items such as a cargo carrier # C18151 or for towing, and that your bike rack's and bikes' combined weight is carried by the vehicle's frame - it's strongest part.
