The Hollywood Racks SR1 2-Bike Carrier - Spare Tire Mount # HRSR1 will fit your 2018 Jeep Wrangler Sahara spare tire. The backup camera will not be an issue with the rack fit as the straps are adjustable, however the view with bikes mounted will obviously be impacted. I reached out to my contact at Hollywood Racks to confirm it is compatible with both the backup camera and the tail light mounted behind and above the spare. You can see the tail light fit in the attached video at the 2:09 mark.

I recommend using a cable lock like # e98891 to secure your bikes to the rack and the softride tie-down to keep your bike wheel from making contact with your vehicle. If you have any step-thru style bike frames, you may also be interested in the adapter bar # HRBA-PRO for level transport.
