You should have no problem mounting the Fulton Hi-Mount Spare Tire Carrier, # FSTC1000301, on your V-nose short tongue trailer. This carrier fits trailer tongues up to 3 inches wide and 4 inches high and works with 10 inch diameter or larger wheels having a 4 on 4 or 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern.

Since you do have a short nose trailer, there is a chance that the tire could interfere with full operation of the jack handle and make it a bit more tedious to raise and lower the trailer. To determine if there will be interference I recommend measuring 27 inches (the approximate diameter of your space tire) down the side of the tongue to see exactly where the tire will sit on your trailer.
