The bumper would probably be OK for one spare tire. There are a gazillion trailers out there running like that.
I'm carrying a spare tire and a fabricated aluminum box on my rear bumper that houses an air compressor, 2 power cords, 2 30A extensions, and x-chocks.
That being said, I had my local hitch shop do some serious reinforcement on the rear bumper. I think it was around $150 for the welder and materials.. Cheap insurance and convenience for what it provides.
