None of the aluminum cargo carriers are going to have a long enough shank to clear the spare tire on your Jeep Wrangler. But for a steel carrier we have the Pro Series carrier # 63153 which measure 12-3/4 inches from the center of the pin hole to the nearest part of the carrier. I have linked video reviews of both carriers and a help article that shows the different clearance measurements of these and other carriers.

This would clear but it is very close. If you would like a little more room, you could use the folding carrier # e98874. It offers 19-1/2" of room when in use. However, you would not be able to use this carrier in the folded position.
