Internal Width of the Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket

Question

Question:

I know the rack is called out as 42inch wide but with the angled sides reducing the width at the top, 2-3inch each? whats the clear dimension between the frame? I need 36inch clear to be able to set a 35inch spare tire in it.
