Tubus claims the Cargo clears a 50 mm / 2" tire plus a 55 mm fender. http://www.tubus.com/documents/13365...Classic_BM.pdf

Although clearance recommendations are usually pretty conservative from manufacturers, your 75 mm tires are a lot larger than what is recommended. None of the Tubus racks are height-adjustable, but the Logo and Vega racks have a wider tire recommendation (60 mm) than the Cargo.


The Surly Rear Rack is recommended for the ECR. http://surlybikes.com/uploads/downlo...t_Guide_v7.pdf
It can be adjusted for height, so it will clear your 3" tire.
I use one on my fat bike over 26 x 4.8" tires. I had to bend out the legs a bit for the extra-wide hub, but it works great.
