There are a few bike racks that can fit on your 2010 Toyota RAV4 without hitting the spare tire. However, I recommend the Thule Camber 2 Bike Carrier # TH9058. We have test fitted this bike rack on your vehicle and it does not come into contact with your spare tire. This bike rack measures 12" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the nearest portion of the upright bar. This will give you plenty of clearance. This bike rack can hold 2 Bikes and up to 75 lbs.

If you are looking for a bike rack that holds 4 bikes, I recommend the Thule Camber 4 Bike Rack # TH9056. This bike rack is the same bike rack as other Thule Camber, except it can hold 4 bikes. This bike rack still has 12" of clearance from the center of the hitch pin to the nearest portion of the upright bar so it can clear the spare tire. This bike rack can hold up to 150 lbs.

If you plan on carrying any women's children's or alternative framed bikes without the top horizontal cross tube, you may want to consider a bike adapter bar similar to # 64005 to make loading bikes easier.

I attached a review video of the Thule Vertex Bike Rack on a 2009 Toyota RAV4 you may want to check out. I also attached a demonstration video of the bike adapter bar. Also, the photo attached shows how much clearance you have from various points on the bike rack which you may find helpful.
