Will The Thule Epos Fit on a Vehicle With Spare Tire 12" Behind Hitch Receiver Pin?

Question

Question:

The Thule Epos Bike Rack # TH69XE is going to have 9-1/2" of clearance from the hitch pin center hole to the uprights so I recommend using the Swing Away Hitch Extender # Y02483. This extender will swing away allowing you access to your rear storage area without having to remove all your bikes.
