  • Spare Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2002 Honda CR-V with Offset Spare
  • We have one spare tire mounted bike rack that fits offset spares at the back of a vehicle like your 2002 Honda CR-V. For that we have the Thule Spare Me part # TH963PRO which would work well. I wouldn't recommend a spare mounted bike rack for a vehicle that wasn't capable of an offset on a vehicle with an offset spare.

  • Can Yakima SpareRide Spare Tire Mounted Bike Rack # Y02599 Be Used With Spare Tire Removed
  • The Yakima SpareRide part # Y02599 actually depends on the spare tire being in place to provide some support. If the spare tire was not in place, the downward force that the bikes exert could cause the mounting stem to bend. I would not recommend using the rack without the spare tire being in place. I have confirmed this with Yakima.

  • Can Spare Tire Bike Rack be Used on a 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser with Spare Tire Backup Camera
  • The phrase "without spare tire mounted backup camera" means that if the 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser has a spare tire backup camera the rack will not fit. Models that do not have a camera mounted at the spare will not have a problem. Since your FJ does have the spare tire mounted backup camera none of the spare tire bike racks will fit but there is another way to carry bikes at the back of the vehicle. You can install a trailer hitch such as # 75461 and use a hitch mounted bike rack. The Thule...

There is also the option of moving your spare tire up to your trailers tongue using the Demco Spare Tire Carrier...

  • Compatibility of Tow Ready Spare Tire Lock with Fulton Hi-Mount Spare Tire Carrier
  • The Fulton Hi-Mount Spare Tire Carrier # FSTC1000301 is a great choice for a spare tire carrier. The bolt that holds the wheel onto the spare tire carrier is a 1/2 inch - 13 bolt that is 1-1/2 inches long. Since the bolt is smaller than 9/16 inches, the Tow Ready Spare Tire Lock # FSTL0603 will work well with the spare tire carrier. This spare tire lock will keep the wheel secured to the spare tire carrier. I've attached a review video of this lock for you. The Wheel Lock Set # RG01-150...

  • Swing Away Hitch Adapter With Spare Tire Rack For Van
  • Hi Dan, What you can do is use a swing away extender and then add a hitch-mounted spare tire carrier. For that I recommend going with the Saris Swing Away Hitch Extender # SAR36VR with the etrailer Spare Tire Mount for Hitch # e98ZR. The Saris extender has a 250 lb capacity and the spare tire mount is just 17 lbs so you can still carry a heavy spare for your van.

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2007 Toyota RAV4 with Rear Mounted Spare Tire
  • While there are spare tire mount bike racks that will fit your 2007 Toyota RAV4 the Malone RunWay # MPG2148 will not due to the spare tire cover. You would have to take off the whole spare tire cover so all that is left is the spare tire and then you could mount this rack. What I recommend is a rack that mounts using the same location as the spare tire such as the SpareRide # Y02599. However, the available racks that do fit, like the SpareRide, hold 2 bikes maximum. To carry 3 bikes I...

  • Are Spare Tire Bike Racks Okay to use with Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier
  • To answer your first question, spare-tire bike racks, including the Thule Spare Me 2 Bike Rack # TH963PRO, is designed specifically for use on vehicles with a spare tire mounting plate that attaches to a vehicle door, and as such they are likely not going to be compatible with the Front Mounted Trailer Hitch Universal Spare Tire Carrier # 6715 and I do not recommend using them on a hitch-mounted carrier. Truly the best option for a spare tire carrier and bike rack mount is the Roadmaster...

  • Is the Mounting Bracket on the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195225 Adjustable
  • I do have a solution for you, but the Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195225 that you referenced actually does not adjust down at all. It can "fall" from one side to the other to make mounting and dismounting your spare tire easier, but it will need to be returned to the upright position for travel. It can accommodate different wheel size due to the different mounting holes on the mounting plate as you can see at about the 5:20 mark in the attached video. We do offer...

  • What is the Height of the Bumper Mounted Tire Spare Carrier # TR-1 from the Top of the Bumper
  • 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. The center of the spare...

  • Recommended Spare Tire and Carrier For CE Smith Multi Sport Boat and Kayak Trailer
  • For the CE Smith Multi Sport Plus Boat and Kayak Trailer # CE48870 I recommend the Loadstar 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel # AM30670. The galvanized wheel will match what comes on the trailer. The spare tire carrier will depend on how you would prefer to mount the spare. A CE Smith Spare Tire Carrier # CE22007Z-11050-2 will allow you to mount the tire horizontally on top of the trailer. This would work best near the a-frame of the trailer to support the tire. The...

  • Will The Thule Replacement Mounting Plate, # 753-3532, Fit On A 2006 Toyota RAV4
  • The original Thule 963 Spare Me bike carrier did not work on the 2006 to 2010 Toyota RAV4 because of mounting limitations with the original mounting plate. The Thule Replacement Mounting Plate for Thule Spare Me Spare-Tire-Mounted Bike Carrier, # 753-3532 is the replacement plate that is needed in order for the older Thule 963PRO Spare Me bike carrier to be used on your 2006 Toyota RAV4 with factory spare tire.
