The spare-tire mounted bike carrier I recommend for your 2004 Wrangler is the Thule Spare Me 2 Bike Rack, part # TH963PRO. This carrier will work with your 32 inch tire as long as it's not more than 12.5 inches wide. The carrier has a capacity of 35-lbs per bike.

If you have a rear-mounted spare tire on your 2002 Xterra, this bike carrier will work great for that vehicle as well.
