Tow Hitch and Spare Tire Clearance?

Observer
Hey Everyone,

I'm looking to get a simple tow hitch for my '04 Tacoma. Might later get a new bumper with an integrated hitch. But for now, I'll probably just end up with a simple class 3/4 bolt-on hitch.

Question is, what brand hitch seems to negatively impact the space for the spare tire the least? I'm hoping to fit a 285/75 spare underneath after modifying the tire support/rests, but looking at some of the hitches like HiddenHitch, it looks like I will lose some clearance between the frame rails. Anybody have a hitch that would still allow the slightly larger than stock 285 to fit up under there?
