Question:
Will this bike rack work with my 2018 2 DR Jeep Wrangler. Will it provide sufficient room when in the carry mode to clear my mounted back tire?

The Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # TH903202 may clear the spare tire on your 2018 Jeep Wrangler, but you will want to take one measurement to verify. As shown in the attached photo, measure the distance from the hitch pin hole to the rearmost part of your spare tire. If this distance is less than 8" then it will clear your spare tire.
This is a very nice carrier that has a ramp for easy loading or unloading bikes. Locks are included to deter theft of your bikes and bike rack.
Since the Thule EasyFold XT may not clear your spare, I would instead look into the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # HR200Z. The closest part of the carrier is 12-1/8" from the hitch pin hole and there are quite a few customers that have used this successfully with their Jeep Wrangler
