Will the Rear Hatch Fully Open on a 2017 Audi Q7 w/ the Roadmaster Spare Tire Mount Installed?

Question:
2021 Audi Q7: im curious if this will work well for a hitch-mount spare tire on my Q7. Does it pivot far enough to not interfere with the rear hatch? Because in an ideal world, i would want a tire mount that would move far enough to be out of the way of the rear hatch without having to remove the tire mount completely. Thanks.

Hey Tim! I don't have that specific of information but I can give you some measurements that will help you figure it out.
To determine if you'll have clearance, you'll need to do some measurements. It looks like there's a couple stock tire sizes for the 2021 Audi Q7 so I am going to go off of the largest one, 285/40R21, would have a diameter of right at 30". 12-3/4" is going to be the closet distance of the spare tire mount item # RM-195125 to your rear hitch pin hole.
If you measure 30" above the ground and 12-3/4" away from your Audi's rear hitch pin hole, you'll be able to tell if the rear hatch will open with the Roadmaster Spare Tire Mount item # RM-195125.
