I would also be wary of liability issues on using a space saver spare wheel. That big decal that says "Not for use over speeds of xx" that you would peel off it that a lot of them have may be intended for the tire mainly, but if you were in an accident a crafty lawyer may find a way to put you at fault for having a mechanically unsafe vehicle. We used to use the aluminum space saver spare wheels out of convertible 5.0L Mustangs to mount skinny front runner tires on for the fronts of our cars at the drag races, but man I wouldn't want to get pulled over with them on the street.
