Hi there. I'm new to bikes. I want to buy used Fat Tire bike however I currently have yakima foldable bike rack that attaches to hitch, holds 4 bikes. When I searched online I didn't see anyone using it looks like it won't fit.
What if I take the front wheeoffset? Would it fit on regular bike rack for travel?
I don't want to spend hundreds for those big bike racks because the trail is few minutes away from my house I'll mostly take the bike there myself but just in case I wanted to go take somewhere further I still need the bike rack.
My current bike rack is Yakima Double Down 4.

Any suggestion is appreciated!
Thanks.

Can you call the company? Or take it to a bike shop and see if fatties will fit on it?
Could you take a look at [Yakima’s website](https://yakima.com/collections/hitch-mounted-bike-racks#/filter:mfield_custom_fields_mount_location:Hitch$2520Platform/filter:mfield_custom_fields_mount_location:Hitch$2520Hanging) and let us know which specific rack you have? I believe you can find the instructions on how to use the rack on their site.
I have a fat tire bike that I just bought and I use a regular trailer hitch mount bike holder. Rack The mount grabs a bike at the crossbar has nothing to do with the tires. It was only 60 or 70 bucks.
