Default Spare Tire

I plan on putting larger tires on this summer (33x12.5). My concern is if I get a flat in the rear my spare will be over an inch smaller. This would seem bad for the limited slip rear diff. Any ideas other than buying five tires (will it still fit underneath?) or swapping a tire from the front to the rear and putting the spare in the front.

You can get a used tier.

You will have to do that to save your diff.
