Expert Reply:

By the looks of it, Randy, the Yakima OnRamp LX # Y88DJ appears as if it will hit the spare so I'd use a hitch extender # C45791 to push the rack out farther so it won't hit the spare.

I'd recommend measuring first to see if you'd even need the extender; if you have less than 12" from the center of the hitch pin hole to your spare, then you're going to need an extender.

Also, using a hitch extender is going to cut your hitch's capacity by 50% so keep that in mind.
