Will Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Fit 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited With Spare Tire
Updated 08/15/2025 | Published 07/20/2025
Question:
Can the hollywood rack with trike adapter be used on a Jeep Wrangler. Will it clear the spare tire? Also does it fold down to access the tail gate, or would bikes have to be removed to open the tailgate?
asked by: Alan J
Expert Reply:
Hi Alan; clearance will largely depend on the hitch you have on your 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Some have an extra long receiver and others are shorter. The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY87RR is 7-1/2" with the rack folded down. Compare this to your current receiver and the spare to see if you will clear. Also yes, the bike rack does tilt down with the bikes on it to access your rear cargo area.
Any big trips planned with your bikes?

Hi Alan, did you get a chance to compare the measurements with your Jeep's hitch and spare tire? I'm curious if the rack worked out for you, especially with the tilt feature for accessing the cargo area. Let me know how it went, as it could help others with similar setups!
