driving on spare
dont do it. if you have to drive on the spare, drive slow and take it home til you get the tire fixed. I believe all wheel/tire sizes need to be within 1/4 inch of each other (check the owners manual). Yes, damage can occur..differentials I think. This is because one wheel will be spinning faster than all the wheels...not good on awd.
If I get caught with a flat or something, Im calling a flat bed!

In a word, yes. You could have a 17 as a spare although it will make your trunk a little more full...
