You can actually use the Replacement Extra Long Wheel Strap # Y8880229 for your Yakima FourTimer # Y02469.

The Fat Strap # Y02470 is 16" long and the Extra Long part # Y8880229 that I referenced is 12-1/4" long and can accommodate up to 20" tires. I confirmed this with my contact at Yakima.

For the Yakima TwoTimer we don't have a wider wheel cradle to allow it to fit better with fat bikes but we do have a longer strap that allows the fat tires to secure better with part #Y02470. The wheel cradle you referenced would not be wider…
