We have the Long Bike Tote rack also. On a Subaru Outback, the rear wheel will stick out just about afar as the drivers side mirror. Never had an issue in tight spaces. I have tripped over the rack several times, forgetting it is there.
When I purchased the rack, I called and talked to one of the owners of the company. They are avid tandem riders, and seem to care very much about their customers.
