The A-Frame Trailer Tongue Toolbox # 350980 will fit on an A-frame trailer where the frame measures 17-1/2 inches edge to edge and go back from that location 15-1/2 inches along the frame. This will let you know if there is room for your spare if mounted in this location. This is not the only mount option, but is the most common for this box. It can be moved closer to the coupler if space is an issue.

If there is not enough room for your current spare, you may want to consider the Fulton Hi-Mount Spare Tire Carrier - Fits 4- and 5-Lug Wheels # FSTC1000301. This mount will allow you to carry the tire on the side of the frame with enough clearance to overlap the tool box.
