pics of the mixed bolt pattern wheels

Why is the spare a problem? Your front and rear tires are no where near the same height. If you've got a limited slip rear in that axle your spare has to be the same height as your rear tires, which would be too tall to fit the front anyway. So the bolt pattern would be pretty irrelevant.
Actually the fronts are smaller and the rear tires are 29" so I had to compromise. I hate driving around with a "spare" tire so i bought a tire the same height as the rear (posi) knowing that it will also work in front (dual pattern) just to get me home or to the nearest tire shop. But I'll probably never use it since I have road side service anyway (emergency use)....it's just a back up system.
