I called my contact at Thule and explained the problem you said you were having with your fat bike.
They told me that you may have an older model T2 bike carrier. If you do not have the cable at the top of the wheel arm you have the older model and it will not fit over the wheel. I do have good news though. We offer a replacement arm that is longer and is designed to fit bikes with a wheelbase up to 29 inches. You just need to order part # 752-1272-001. This will install on your T2 bike carrier and work great for your fat bike tires.
