Rear Support Bar Dimension on Hollywood Racks SR1 2-Bike Spare Tire Bike Carrier HRSR1

Updated 11/20/2018 | Published 11/19/2018

Question:

I have a 2018 Jeep Wrangler Sport S, which has a third brake light above the spare. There isnt much clearance between the third brake light and the spare, and the third brake light bracket and the spare. Is it possible to give me the dimensions of the rear brace, the section that actually slides over the spare? I did notice that for a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited that you say it would work. I just dont know if the third brake light/spare tire arrangement is the same. Thanks

Hollywood Racks has confirmed that their SR1 2-Bike Spare Tire Bike Carrier # HRSR1 that you referenced has been determined to fit well on Jeep Wranglers that have the third brake light mounted near the spare tire.

But I did go to our warehouse to measure the rear bar on the rack so you can check the fit for yourself. The thin rear bar that fits around the forward-facing side of the tire measures 1/4-inch thick and 1-inch tall. Please refer to the linked photo that provides this dimension.
