I bought a hitch doubler (allows you to carry a bike rack and tow a trailer at the same time) from Agri-Supply that acts as an extender to me most of the time. With it, I can clear my OR-FAB tire carrier without a problem.

Most are going to fit about the same. They don't seem as fitted as a bike rack mainly because they don't come with the bolt inside the tube. I picked up the Yakima 4 bike rack and a hitch extender. I got major wobbles so I went to the bike store and got the same internal plastic piece that holds the Yakima bolt inside the rack's hitch tube. It took some grinding to make it fit inside the extender but once it was in there, it fit great and there is no sway or wobble. Great solution and it extends the rack out further so you have more room to open the back.

I have one of these bad boys. It works great at fits even with the Rubi Stock tire. It does not allow for the tail gate to be opened but that isn't a huge deal.

How about this one...
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=98019
For $29.99 seems like a steal..
I have a similar looking Yakima rack. With the stock spare on there is a few inches left...The only pain is that to get the rack on and off there is a bolt that you need to screw in thru the hole on the side of the hitch and then the rack has threads. Its a pain because you have to take the hole thing down to open the tailgate, but even if you had a swing away rack it would be the same since the tailgate opens to the side...
Here is the best pic I have
