Expert Reply:
You only need to take one measurement to determine if the Curt Premium 5 Rack part # C18065 will clear the spare of your 2003 Jeep Liberty is to measure the distance from the center of your hitch pin to the furthest point out on the rear spare. If that dimension is less than 10 this hitch will clear and fit well. I attached a review video for this rack as well.
For a spare tire mounted bike rack instead the Thule Spare Me 2 # TH963PRO would be a better option. This has been confirmed as a fit for your Liberty too.
If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
