Question:

My tire rack will not sit against the tire even with the correct combination of long bracket, short standoff, and spacers. Help

It looks like from the picture you sent in that you're a little long. You should be able to correctly fit with the tire by removing at least the short standoff, or switching to the short bracket and short standoff.

Additionally, you will also want to tighten the central bolt all the way down to the central spacers to ensure a good fit. This will adjust distance as well, pulling it closer to the tire.

You have a fairly large spare tire, but I can't tell exactly what size it is. Let me know the size because this rack will only fit tires up to 12.5 inches wide and 33 inches in diameter and this could be why you're having a problem with it.
