Unfortunately, none of the hitches we carry for your Acura MDX is going to work with your full size spare tire. You can still use a hitch like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C22HR you'd just have to remove the spare and won't be able to re-install it.

Seeing as though that isn't really the best option, I recommend instead getting rid of your hitch bike rack and get a trunk mounted rack instead.

Something like the Malone Hanger Trunk Bike Rack for 3 Bikes # MPG2139 would work great and would still allow you to carry your bikes while retaining your spare.

This bike rack is capable of carrying up to 3 bikes weighing 33-lbs per bike, is made from durable powder-coated steel, and only weighs 15-lbs, making this a nice lightweight option.
