Does B and W Hitch for 2006 Chevy Silverado 2500HD Fit with Full Size Spare

Question

Question:

My question is will this have space for my oversized spare? I have a 285 / 70 / 17 wheel underneath. Will this hitch work with my oversized tire? It works now with the hitch I have, but it is rusted out and need a new one. Thanks
