Question:
Hi, How do you think the Yakima SpareRide 2 will work on a Rav4 with the spare tire off-center? I realize this model does not allow for adjustments around centering the rack and bikes themselves? The previous model allowed for the movement of the rack to off set the tire mount. Is it minimal enough not to risk the bikes sticking out too far? Thanks.

Actually we know the Yakima SpareRide bike rack part # Y02599 is a fit for your 2008 Toyota RAV4 as Yakima test fit the rack on your vehicle and determined that it was a fit.
I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.
If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
