More importantly you should ensure that your spare has the same or very close to, rolling diameter as the 4 on the car. Too much variance will possibly cause damage to the transfer case and diffs. Not so bad if you just need it to limp home a few k's. I've discovered this last week that there can be a lot of variation in rolling diameter even in tyres of the same stated size. I've now decided to go down the path of having two sets, one set of 18's for off and the 20's for on road. The spares for the off's will go on the rack of the camper. More expensive but a better solution for me.
I seriously considered trading the car in on a new JKU.. it would have cost me less!
