Will the Yakima Exo Swing Base Clear An Oversized Jeep Wrangler Spare Tire

Question:

I have a 35” spare tire on my Jeep Wrangler, which measures about 12.5” width. I am wondering if the Yakima Exo swing base will clear that tire, with accessories on it without removing the tire, and if needed is it safe to use an extension?

The Yakima EXO SwingBase Swing Away Hitch Extender - 2 inch Hitches # Y34VR from its farthest stretched out point is 35-1/2 inches long. With your tire being 35 inches it should just clear it.

The Yakima Exo has a simple bolt-on attachment to your vehicle's hitch receiver. It has a durable steel construction that has a black powder coat which is rust resistant.
