The Front Mounted Trailer Hitch Universal Spare Tire Carrier # 6715 you were looking at does not use standard lug nuts, and needs to use the included washers, and nuts.

The bolts included with the hitch are 7/16-14 grade 5 bolts, so your M12-1.5 lug nuts will not fit.

I included a video of the # 6715 for you to take a look at.

What you'll do is use a separate wheel chock behind the wheels after using the Thule RV Wheel Levelers #TH307617. All you need to use is the Buyers Products 10" Wheel Chock #337WC1086UWH.

Your tire size of P225/65R17 has an overall diameter of 28.7 inches. So for that the part #CE27440 would be an excellent option confirmed as a fit. This cover will not fly off as it will be very snug once installed.
