I meant does it clear the antenna/base when swinging the tire out 180 degrees from its stored position

It swings out until it hits its stop. I have this setup and have no issues.

You have offset mounts on both sides right? Do you know how much wider they make the HMMWV?

Wide enough the antennas don't rub on the back cover
Just under 89 3/4" at widest part off offsets, rear body is 83 1/2". Rear side reflectors about 84 1/2", door handles roughly 87 1/2-88" Mirrors way more didn't measure....... Take your pick.

You're welcome, but the mirrors are the widest part of the vehicle. Do you plan on folding them every time you park?

Offsets can also be pointed facing backwards instead of sideways.

Never thought of that, but then that would defeat the purpose of having them wouldn't it? LMAO, you know I was just looking at my pic to see how they would be in my mind facing aft, i never noticed after how long since I put them on, one is taller than the other....... I'm very observant......LOL

Heh, that's my truck.
And no, the mount doesn't generally interfere. If I crank the carrier all the way up it can rub a corner but if I lower it a little it clears fine.
