did you change the rolling radius of your wheels when you got the 20's? if not, the spare will work just fine for you.

Why don't you just ditch the floor mats if you want less weight?

In NYC, I never put any expensive spare tires in the back. I use valet parking a couple of times a month and I've heard around and even know people that will steal spare tires and sell it back out as a set usually. Most people never really double check if their spare tires are missing; usually only other valuables like maybe a shopping bag full of clothes that your lady/gent bought. So by the time you actually need the spare, it might have been too late . Of course, if you don't use the valet, that probably wouldn't be an issue besides the fitment question you are asking about. Remember people, check your spare tires if you valet!
