Re: Wheel Backspacing -- Ok to have different spare?
You MUST have all 5 tires be the same size, or your tcase will go nuts
getting you back to the road in 4WD. If you have limited slip or a locker
(or two lockers), then the smaller diameter tire will be a serious problem.
Get the whlle that mateches the others, and don't look back.

Jeff, maybe the extra weight of your full sized spare is the reason
you're constantly falling back off the rocks:
