When we installed the Hidden Hitch part # 87412 on a 2008 FJ Cruiser similar to what you have we found that there was 9 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole out to the furthest point out on the rear spare.
You will want to measure your setup to know for certain, but the Swagman XC part # S64650 should fit as it has 10-1/2 inches from the hitch pin hole to the furthest point out on the rear spare.
As long as the dimension you take is less than 10-1/2 inches the rack will fit and work well.
Another platform bike rack to consider is the Hollywood racks Trail Rider, # HR200Z. This bike rack measures 12-1/2 inches to the closest wheel hoop.
