It's really going to depend on the hitch that you've got and the distance you've got from the center of the hitch pin hole to the edge of the spare tire. The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 2 for Electric Bikes # HLY84FR has 7-1/2" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the rack when folded down, so it's going to be a really tight squeeze, but maybe not unmanageable.

If that doesn't work, depending on the weight and tire size of your bikes, the Yakima HoldUp 2 Bike Rack for 2" Hitches - Platform Style - Tilting # Y02443 may be the better option. The HoldUp has 12" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest wheel holder, so there's more clearance to work with the spare tire. The HoldUp can hold bikes up to 60-lbs and wheels as wide as 3", but it's not ideal for bikes with fenders since it mounts by the wheels, so that should be considered.

I would measure the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the edge of the spare tire and see what you come up with. If neither of these racks will work, please let me know a bit more about the bikes and what the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the edge of the spare tire is and I can see what might work for you.
