If you can't find a Longboy Jeremy, have you considered using some p-clamps mounted higher on the seatstays with a 32R or any other rack to raise it high enough to clear the tires ? Sure, it won't look "clean" if that matters to you, but it would work. Also, a Tubus rack extension kit may work to raise a rack up and forward. From the image of it, you'd mount it upside down, with the slotted portion at the bottom of the lowest frame eyelet so it would curve up and in. https://www.tubus.com/en/products/accessories-rear-carriers/tubus-product/foot-extension-set
