The overall tire diameter for a Canyon is about 31 inches, so if that's the width of the rack then the forward hitch rail would be about 31 inches from the front of the box, and the midpoint between the rails would be about 42 inches from the front of the box. I don't think anyone has a hitch mounted in a Canyon that far back, since the axle is nowhere near that far from the cab. Perhaps the tire could overlap substantially over the forward hitch rail (by modifying the rack and offsetting the spare wheel mounting bolts rearward), but eventually the tire is going to hit the Andersen Ultimate frame. That looks like a slick setup... but for a longer box.
