I've had bad luck, with 7 separate flats/tire blow outs in the past 5 years. I hate driving on donuts, so I keep a full size spare in the trunk of my g35. My spare barely fit over my 13.6" rotors. It only takes me a few minutes to change out the tire, so even though I have AAA, I'd rather just get back on the road sooner.
usually keep one of my stock (not spare) wheels in the car with me

I ran run flat tires all around on my car and didnt have a spare at all. I had a stereo in a false floor where my spare used to be. I also have aftermarket wheels, i dont know what you have.
