2002GGPIS3

I love seeing Lexuses rolling around on big rims- 18, 19 and 20 inch some of the looks on the cars are jaw dropping. I would no doubt do this in a heartbeat especially around town, but I also like driving long distances and on back roads. My 2002 Is300 with 17 inch wheels comes with the rarity of a full size spare. Yes there has been times that my tire has gone out, once in a very deserted place and I put the spare and everything was fine. So I have a two fold question, how many people with big rims have a equal size spare?, and are there any guys that have big rims that drive long distances? I like the safety factor of a full size spare and a donut spare or tire repair kit will not cut it for me.
