In regards to the Swagman XP RV Bike Rack for 4 Bikes part # S64940, the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the upright is 14-1/2". I don't have the distance from the hitch pin hole to the first bike as this would vary from bike to bike. That said, you shouldn't have any issues and worse case the bikes make slight contact with the tire or you have to rearrange the spare tire or bike orientation to make work. The only other option really would be to place the spare tire under the trailer with a carrier like the Lippert RV Spare Tire Carrier with Winch part # LC159041.
