Expert Reply:
If you can lighten your bikes down to 75 lbs total then the Thule Spare Me 2 Bike Rack item # TH963PRO will work. This is our highest capacity spare tire bike rack. It will work with all current vehicles with factory rear-mounted spare tires. It fits tires up to 12.5" wide x 33" in diameter. The carrier will not fit vehicles with spare-tire-mounted backup cameras.
If you have a vehicle with a spare tire camera, like a Jeep, you can use the Hollywood Racks SR1 2-Bike Carrier item # HRSR1. Your bikes would only be able to weigh 35 lbs apiece with this rack. This rack works with most door-mounted spare tires up to 15" wide.
