Expert Reply:

Surco Spare Tire 3-Bike Carrier # BT300 does not have the ability to be mounted off-center on your 2005 Honda CR-V. We do have 1 spare mounted bike rack that can be mounted off-center; take a look at the Thule Spare Me # TH963PRO. It can be set up so that it and your bikes are more centered behind the vehicle. But it only comes in a 2-bike model.

To carry more than 2 bikes and have them centered behind the vehicle I recommend installing a trailer hitch, # 75690, and using a hitch mounted bike rack such as the Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR. I have linked a video review of the bike rack and the hitch for you.
