Spare wheel for Big Brake Kit - Please help

I just purchased a big brake kit and will need to use another wheel as a spare since the factory spare won't work with big brakes what do you recommend?

Will a factory wheel with a 30mm spacer work as a wheel/spacer combo for my spare?

It will fit in the spare tire well, but the false floor will not lie flat in the original position. The OEM coupe 19 is wider than the factory coupe spare hence it will stick upward more when lying on its side.

AAA roadside assistance. Cheaper than a coupe 19. They will tow you to the nearest tire shop.

+1 on the OEM 19. Fit over my BBK with plenty of room to spare.
