The answer to your question will depend on the hitch and the tire you have on your 2023 Jeep Wrangler. Some hitches like the # e98856 have a longer receiver tube to help clear the spare. If you have the factory hitch I'm not sure where it sits relative to the tire.

The closest point of the # TH83GC is 6-3/4" from the center of the hitch pin hole. Depending on how far down your tire sits it may make contact here, I can't really say without trying it on your Jeep. A little further out at the top of the angled support is 11" so if your tire sits higher this might be enough to allow it to clear.

Honestly with a larger spare your best bet is to see if a local dealer will let you put one on your vehicle to check for clearance before you start ordering things and find out it doesn't work.
