Best Auto Hitch Rack for Tandem Bike?

There was a previous (2006) post/thread on this, so I'm thinking there may be more updated options.

Although I was able to carry my newly acquired tandem on a standard trunk mount rack, the wheels stuck out a bout a foot to 15" or so on each side on the vehicle.
I decided to take side streets to get back because I thought it posed a hazard to other drivers. The weight distribution on the rack rails (about 14" apart) was also somewhat worrisome.

I'm assuming standard, horizontal mount hitch racks would pose the same problem.

So then, what's the solution for safely transporting this W I D E and heavy load?
BTW, our bike has a rear cargo rack...


Thanks in advance!
