Will Curt Hitch C11363 Allow Normal Spare Tire Access On A 2012 Fiat 500?
Updated 04/14/2026 | Published 04/08/2026
Question:
Hello! I have the 2012 Fiat 500 Sport model with a spare tire mounted up under the rear. Will this hitch work around the spare tire and still allow the tire to be accessed as normal? Thanks, Kurt

Expert Reply:
Hey Kurt, thanks for reaching out. Yes, it will! The Curt Hitch # C11363 will indeed work on your 2012 Fiat 500 with the under mounted spare tire. The spare tire will need to be removed temporarily during hitch installation, but once the hitch is on the tire will go right back where it was and you'll be able to access it normally.
What will you be using he hitch for? A bike rack, or a small trailer?

For sure will use it for a bike rack. I might get a tiny teardrop trailer that I can pull with it as well, but it will need to be pretty light!
