The Apogee Adapt-X 500 folding utility trailer, like # AT74FR does not include a spare tire holder. You can certainly add one, but the problem lies in finding a spot to install a spare tire without interfering with the trailer's ability to fold.
The best spot to mount a spare tire carrier would be the front wall of the trailer bed, above the trailer tongue as shown in the provided photo. I'd recommend using the Fulton Hi-Mount tire carrier, part # FSTC1000301. The carrier provides enough lift that the 24 inch diameter 175/80-13 tire won't interfere with the trailer tongue or with folding the trailer.
For a spare tire/wheel, I'd recommend the Kenda # AM3S060. This is a 175/80-13 bias ply tire mounted to a 13 inch galvanized spoke wheel with a 5 on 4 bolt pattern which is compatible with the trailer.
I've linked to some product videos for the products recommended above.
