It's possible to do, but there is not a bracket or recommended method of installation for a straight tongue trailer to mount an A-frame tool box like the Buyers Products Trailer Tongue Toolbox # 3371701680.

Realistically, due to its shape you're going to have to fabricate some type of base that forms the shape of the toolbox (or something close), and mount it to that base.

Otherwise, you'd have to put it inside your trailer, and if the 19" depth of the # 3371701680 is too much you can use something different like the 15" deep Buyers Products Utility Storage Box # 3371712230.

Waylon, it does look like the Dexstar Steel Mini Mod Trailer Wheel #AM20539 is the same thing as the Dexstar 17-233 wheels you're referring too. These are silver wheels with a 6 on 5 1/2 bolt pattern, a 0 offset, and are made in the USA.
