Will Saris Freedom Platform Rack Clear Spare Tire On 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
Question:
Good morning, I am looking at a Saris Freedom 2 bike hitch rack for my 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. I am concerned about my slightly wider aftermarket spare. I went with 33s technically 32.75 so my spare is a 285 as opposed to the stock 255. The video you posted in regards to the 4 bike carrier showed a good amount of clearance but I just want to make sure would fitment be an issue with the new wheel/tire? Thanks!

There is a quick way to take a measurement to see if the Saris Freedom Bike Rack, part # SA4412B will fit on your 2016 Wrangler unlimited.
Just use a straight edge like a yardstick or a dowel and hold it vertically against the back of the spare tire, letting it extend down below the trailer hitch. Then measure from the center of the hitch pin hole to the straight edge. That is the distance you need to clear the spare tire with any hitch mounted accessory.
The # SA4412B has a distance of 12 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest wheel tray on the carrier. This bike rack weighs just 22-1/2 lbs and has a weight capacity of 35-lbs per bike.
