Had a chance to see this in person in Moab. It is actually pretty impressive.
The rear tube completely surrounds the end tanks. (which are EXTREMELY durable, they will support my weight (235lbs)). The tube actaully bolts to the frame on one side and the bumper on the other. It would be VERY VERY difficult to actually hit that water bottle.
The swing action of the tire carrier is awesome. Wish more carriers would do it this way.
The offset is slight, but needed to have full access to the handle and a shorter lever arm to hold a bigger tire.
Quick video of how easily this thing works with a 37" tire on it.

Here you can see the offset and the access to the handle........and how securely it holds my dogs.
