Personally, I would only have the one spare, mounted on the carrier. Aside from looking cool... I would like to free up the additional storage space where the spare is. Some folks put their spare up on their Roof Rack to achive this.
I have a full-size spare, and the available space is already...
I ran across a company named Rigid Armor that makes Tire Carriers for eveverything but Fords ☹ The one they make for the Subaru looks really sweet. So, I reached out and asked if they have plans for a BS version... As you can see, it sounds like they are open to prototyping one up. If there's...

I promised to update when I installed the Glovebox Pin Switch and LED in my earlier post... Well, I got lazy and then winter came so I never did install the parts according to "My Plan" ? I guess I just wasn't in a rush to drill holes in my new BS just yet.
Instead, I ran across these little...
