In order to determine if the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE, part # HLY84FR, will clear the spare tire, you'll be looking at the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the rack when both folded and unfolded. Without a carrier installed, you'll measure from the center of the hitch pin hole to the furthest point of the spare tire's edge to get this distance. I've included a diagram to help illustrate this measurement.
