Great question. Some hitch installs can interfere with the spare tire, but this isn't the case with your vehicle.

The 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport has the spare tire stored in a compartment under the floor of the cargo area, so it will not interfere with the installation of a trailer hitch. I've provided a photo of the underside of the vehicle with the hitch installed.

I've linked you to an installation video that'll show you exactly where the hitch sits under the vehicle.
