Since you are looking for the trunk mounted bike rack with the narrowest arm width you are going to want the Thule OutWay Bike Rack part # TH56BV. The arms on this rack can be adjusted as narrow as you need them. To the point they would touch even.

Since you plan on carrying women's or alternative framed bikes with or without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
