The rear door mounted spare tire is obviously an issue for using a bike rack on a 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, especially if you have aftermarket tires. Therefore, bike rack options are limited and I don't recommend using an extender when the vehicle is flat-towed. The Yakima RidgeBack Bike Rack for 2 Bikes part # Y02457 is what I suggest. It should clear the rear spare tire no problem, it can be folded so you can open the tailgate, and it can be used on a flat-towed vehicle. I have used this rack before and it's one of the best hanging style available. It also has locks for security and one of the highest weight capacities in this style. I don't think you could get away with a platform style unfortunately.
