Purchasing a 2017 Jeep Wilys edition with tow package. Need a 4 bike rack, will the Thule model TH934XTR fit with rear tire mount on a Wilys edition? Thanks

For nearly all Jeep Wranglers the Thule Hitching Post part # TH934XTR will easily clear the rear spare of the vehicle. Reason being the rack has 13-1/2 inches from the center of it's hitch pin hole out to the back of the upright mast which is more than the clearance needed for Wranglers.

You can measure your vehicle to verify but you should be fine. Measure from the center of the hitch pin out to the furthest point out on the rear spare. If that distance is less than 13-1/2 inches this would easily fit.

If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
