What would u do for a spare?

I'm bout to get new wheels form the 05-newer SD. I'm getting spacers from Fred. What would u do about a space? Keep my original which will have same height as new tires but different back spacing or get a new spare with correct back spacing for my wheel spacers?

I went with the new spare.

I didn't try the OEM spare... so I don't know for sure... but I would expect I would have to remove the spacer to run the OEM spare. I just didn't want that complexity alongside the road.

nickel more to go first class...
