I would say the spare tire is part of the 250# recommended weight. As a side note I had the bumper pulled out and strapped 4 lawn chairs onto the rack. Never took them off until we traveled about 1000 miles. Noticed the rack rails were slightly bent. 1" from bumper to fulcrum pivot point. Took the spare tire of and it now travels on a BAL Hide-a-spare. That tire out there on the bumper can do some damage as I found out.
